Ormiston College aims to nurture and encourage enthusiasm for and commitment to the pursuit of lifelong learning. Moreover, our Mission Statement clearly indicates that Ormiston College is an academic school, seeking to achieve academic excellence. Through the implementation of the Australian Curriculum and the adoption of a comprehensive teaching and learning framework, we aim to create a seamless curriculum focused on developing transferable skills. Learning across all year levels and subjects throughout the College is further supported by our strong focus on achieving high levels of literacy and numeracy. Teachers at all year levels ensure that there is continuity of learning by using our Teaching and Learning Framework, as it provides a common language that students, teachers and parents can use to communicate and share their understanding of quality teaching and learning. This framework supports students in acquiring thinking processes which can be used in any subject and used meaningfully in real life situations. Our aim is to move beyond traditional approaches of reproducing knowledge and equip our students with the ability to choose the best strategies to help them solve problems, make decisions, generate explanations and create new understandings. The framework, along with our strong emphasis on using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve learning outcomes, assists our students in embracing new ways of thinking in the 21st century.

The Ormiston College Early Learning Centre provides children from 15 months to 5 years with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment designed to enhance their early development. Known for its excellent facilities and resources, the centre provides quality, safe and friendly care and is a great foundation for future learning.

Science Centre – The science centre provides five Biology and Chemistry Science Laboratories and a dry Physics Science Laboratory affording outstanding opportunities for pursuing a range of science-based subjects.

Centre for Learning Innovation – The CLI is the hub for our community of learners: it is an intersection where people and information collide and evolve. Our CLI is a library of the future and a community hub, not merely a holding area for books. The focus is on ‘flexible space’ and the creation of an environment that is conducive to student interaction and collaborative learning. ‘Makerspaces’, sometimes referred to as hackspaces or fablabs, are innovative creative DIY spaces where students gather to create, invent and learn. There are 3D printers, software, electronics, craft, hardware tools and much more, with easily moveable furniture capable of quick reconfiguration to support different kinds of activity.

Information Communication Technology – Preparing our students for work in the 21st century workplace requires ICT proficiency. Our College uses modern ICT devices in combination with 21st century skills taught within our classrooms. All learning areas are appointed with suitable, modern and innovative ICT devices. Starting in our early years, our Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 students all use the latest iPad technology to assist their learning. Then, in each Year 3 to Year 6 there are a bank of 15 hybrid tablet/laptops featuring an electronic pen that enables high level input on various tasks and activities providing better learning compared to traditional keyboard and mouse devices. From Year 7 until the end of Year 12, students are provided with their own hybrid laptop, that they can use in the classroom and take home, ensuring they have the right technology tools for learning whenever they are needed.

The College also has a rich set of multimedia devices. Every classroom in Junior school features an interactive whiteboard and speakers for use with various educational software and e-Learning tasks. In Middle and Senior school every teaching space has a projector and speakers. The whole College is covered with wireless access so that as many ICT devices as possible can be used wirelessly, this enables true collaboration between staff and students throughout the campus. The Centre for Learning and Innovation has MediaScape lounges where students can connect their laptops and work collaboratively with other students in a relaxed setting.

The College also caters for the production of assignment work with students having access to photocopiers where they can scan and digitize content, copy and print assignments in rich colour and up to A3 sized paper; there are also digital still and video cameras available for loan from the CLI. Students through their enrollment are allowed to access and install at no extra cost the Microsoft Office productivity suite for use on any computer or laptop they may use the home.

Support for all of this technology is provided by the College’s own ICT Helpdesk located in the CLI. All equipment is regularly maintained and students and parents can visit or call the ICT Services for any questions relating to the technology and ICT Services provided by the College.

The Lingo Lin Performing Arts Theatre features a 13 x 9 metre stage, the latest staging technology, drama studio, and individual music rooms.

The Somerset Sports Centre provides first-class facilities for basketball, netball, badminton and volleyball, fully equipped gymnasium, and multi-purpose rooms for dance, aerobics, and other programs and houses the Ormiston Private Health Club.

The Marsson Aquatic Centre is a 25 metre heated swimming pool and complex.

Ormiston College has an outstanding reputation for providing its students with quality private education. Ormiston College is an independent, non-denominational Christian school with a strong record of achievement not only academically but also through an extensive range of cultural and sporting pursuits.
Although the College’s world-class facilities and beautiful Brisbane Bayside setting make an immediate impression, it's the Ormiston College community and their commitment to positive outcomes for every student that sets our school apart.
Our College community supports, encourages, and acknowledges each person’s honest commitment to do his or her best, in a welcoming safe environment of mutual respect and dignity.
In a friendly, non-denominational Christian independent school environment we take a holistic approach to developing the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, aesthetic, emotional, and physical skills of our students.
We actively promote the value of learning, as we believe that learning how to learn is as important as learning content and skills.
We understand and recognise the differences, the similarities, and the strengths which each girl and boy has. We guide them and teach them to explore, to strive for success, and to take on their dreams with confidence and compassion so they may go out into the community as leaders.

As a non-denominational Christian school, Christian values shape who we are and provide us with a strong foundation to build upon our faith.
Compassion: Being kind and caring for everyone in need. In the College Student Enhancement Program (SEP), students explore the meaning of compassion and how it is more than just being kind. Compassion is endeavouring to understand how someone might feel in a particular situation, and treating them with kindness.
Integrity: Being honest and having strong moral principles. We provide challenging opportunities for development of character, responsibility, initiative and integrity in all students. Social awareness and good citizenship is a priority in the College.
Respect: Valuing yourself, others and the College. Our College community supports, encourages, and acknowledges each person’s honest commitment to do his or her best, in a welcoming safe environment of mutual respect and dignity.
Responsibility: Being reliable and accountable for your own actions. We value the cultivation of self-worth, emotional resilience, discipline, compassion, loyalty, and social responsibility within all our students.
Service: Giving to others and making a difference in their lives. We participate in ongoing community service projects throughout the year with the purpose of assisting both the Ormiston College and the wider Redland City community in social, environmental and spiritual endeavours.
