Exceptional Student Leaders

At Suncoast Christian College, it’s our business to develop student leaders who are filled with faith, diligence and love – young adults who are prepared for thrilling, impactful and virtuous lives.

Student Leaders of 2020

The whole Suncoast College Community come together every year in January to dedicate the year to God, give a special welcome to the new students to our school, and to commission our Primary and Secondary leaders.

As part of this year's ceremony, we were delighted to present this year’s Captains and Leadership Team to the College community. Under the headship of College Captains, Shontelle, and Jeriah and Vice-Captains, Nade and Jack, we are confident that this exceptional group of student leaders people will lead the student body with distinction. The broader Year 12 Leadership group was also celebrated and inducted into their leadership roles.

A rich heritage of student leadership

One good way to catch a glimpse of Suncoast’s approach to student leadership is to view this 2016 student-produced, student leadership film.

Located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Suncoast Christian College is an independent College that provides nurturing Christ-centred education from Pre-Kindy to Year 12.

Suncoast Christian College operates a fleet of air-conditioned buses dedicated for Suncoast students. With routes linking a wide range of Sunshine Coast suburbs – all students are dropped off and picked up within the College grounds.

From humble beginnings in 1979, when the school began in a converted pineapple packing shed, Suncoast Christian College has grown into a vibrant, dynamic and authentic Christian community which still holds the strong sense of mission and passion upon which it was founded.

Established to support families by educating children in a Christian environment where the values of the school are aligned with the home, today the College offers a high-quality education which still gives priority to the development of Christian faith, character and values. We aim to raise up future generations of young people who will influence our society and world for the better.

At Suncoast, our overriding school culture is one of care and nurture and our style is decidedly contemporary. While we think it is important to do hard things and to be challenged, it is also important to us that students enjoy the journey and find their learning fun and interesting.

At Suncoast, our mission is to see our students grow in their faith, character, and learning. No matter their starting point, we welcome them and celebrate most the distance travelled in their journeys.

We want to see their faith grow out of the deep conviction that God loves and forgives them without condition, the knowledge of which has the power to transform the way they see themselves and others.

We also aspire to grow their character, because this will make a profound difference to the way they approach life, face challenges and conduct their work and personal relationships.

And because all children have different strengths, gifts, and abilities, it is our desire to see each one of them grow in their learning and to achieve their best. However, the measures of their success will be as unique and individual as they are.

We think our young people are remarkable and that our peer groups are amongst the very best. Whenever we send them out into the community the feedback is overwhelmingly positive and our students stand apart because of who they are.
