Welcome to Nunawading Christian College. At NCC, we can offer your child continuous Christian education from Early Learning (3-4 years of age) to VCE. Our college is committed to offering a broad and balanced education for the whole child. Enrolment is open to all families willing to accept the ethos and values of our School.
Nunawading Christian College provides values based education from ELC to Year 12 in a safe and caring environment to families from all backgrounds and faiths. At Nunawading Christian College, we recognise the importance of working in partnership with parents in providing excellent Christian education for our students.
The College emphasises the development of the total person: the physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual aspects are all important. It is our aim to provide an academic program which meets the needs of each student to enable them to reach their fullest potential.
In Years 1 and 2, students develop their skills and become more independent in their learning. As they explore different topics, they become writers, mathematicians, scientists, conservationists, historians, safety wardens and programmers.
In Years 3 and 4, the focus is on responsibility for learning and collaboration within teams. Through STEM, team sport and literature activities, students learn to collaborate and contribute to reaching goals side-by-side with their peers. This is balanced with students also practicing the art of independent learning with the gentle support of teachers and each other.
In Years 5 and 6, Mathematics is streamed to promote the support and extension of students. Students also enjoy participating in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) program, designing and building solutions to real world problems. A leadership program is available to all upper primary students, involving becoming buddies with Foundation students, House Captain roles, School Captaincy and Young Leaders Day.
In Years 7 and 8 the curriculum is structured to transition students from primary to secondary level with a focus on emotional, physical, spiritual and academic development. Students are encouraged to think critically, create and engage with a broad curriculum. A range of co-curricular programs, such as a robust Peer Support Program, help to transition Year 7 students into secondary school. Maths continues to be streamed to support and extend students. English classes are gender split to allow for reading material and teaching styles to be tailored to engage the students and build strong literacy skills. Year 8 students also take part in Invictus, a program that explicitly teaches students about wellbeing; about how to recognise their own emotions and how to cope with them, how to find purpose, how to find and maintain resilient relationships.
In Year 9, students are given wider choice in their education through electives. All Year 9 students also take part in the Challenge Program, which builds on the Year 8 Invictus program and encourages students to discover their potential and the possibility for growth outside their comfort zone. Practical activities combined with personal reflection helps each student discover more about themselves and look to the needs of others.
In Year 10, students begin to choose options and pathways for higher levels of study. All students may apply for an early VCE Unit 1 and 2 subject.
VCE curriculum follows VCAA requirements and study designs, but Christian values and ethics continue to be central to all study. Small VCE class sizes allow for a high level of monitoring, support and personalised tutorial-style teaching. Subjects offered at VCE level are determined by the interests of the Year 10 class as they prepare to enter their VCE. This means that the subject line up will vary from year to year. Students may access subjects through external providers such as the Victorian School of Languages, TAFEs, Distance Education Victoria and VETiS providers.

All Year 10 and 11 students attend a career expo, where they can explore an extensive range of career and course options.
At Year 11 and 12 level, subject selection advice continues to ensure maximum success, wellbeing and support.
A brief career test is offered to Year 12 students to help clarify options and to equip students with the language needed to identify their workplace strengths and weaknesses.
Parents and Year 12 students are asked to attend a VTAC information session where student are supported in the tertiary courses selection and application process.
A career newsletter is emailed to all Year 10, 11 and 12 students each fortnight, informing them about tertiary opportunities, information sessions and general career events.
Teaching and non-teaching staff are all part of the Pastoral Care Team. Pastoral Care is supported by, but not the sole responsibility of the Chaplains and Student Welfare Officers. This team wants to ensure students are happy and secure in whatever activity they are taking part in, whether social, spiritual, mental, emotional or physical. We have a caring commitment to guide and advise our pupils, equipping them with the skills needed to face the outside world.
