To provide a distinctly Christian education.
Our desire is to partner with families in providing a holistic education based on the Biblical Worldview in which the hearts and minds of young people can grow and pursue their full potential for God.
Our Vision:
To see every student:
- Grow in Faith: For every student to pursue a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and develop a Biblical Worldview through which they make sense of their world.
- Grow in Learning: For every student to strive for their personal best and take ownership of their learning. For every student to achieve at least one year's growth in learning every school year, regardless of their starting point.
- Grow in Character: For every student to develop thoughtfulness, self-discipline, and personal responsibility, and demonstrate the lifelong character qualities of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Bus Service
Staines Memorial College provides a safe and professional bus service that transports students to and from the College on a daily basis. Students may access the bus service as soon as the required forms are submitted and availability has been confirmed.
Bus routes and suburbs serviced are designed around demand and are set at the commencement of each school term.
Bus routes may fill quickly, so it will be necessary to return your forms as soon as possible to the College Office.
Please contact the College Office for further information on (07) 3814 8600.
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.
