Â
On behalf of Staines Memorial College, I welcome you and thank you for taking an interest in our distinctly Christian school.
SMC has been ‘making Christ known’ in our local community through the provision of a distinctly Christian education since 2005. At our college, we have the distinct privilege and opportunity to share with students the truth of the Gospel and help them develop a Biblical worldview through which they make sense of their world.
Over the past 17 years, we have grown from 35 students and three classes on leased land in Springfield to 650 students from Kindy to Year 12.
We want our students to know that who they are cannot be found in their achievements, nor their failures, nor the evaluation of others, but in Christ alone. We want every student to pursue a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. This is the reason we are here. This is why we do what we do.
