College History

Brisbane Christian College is a multi-campus Pre-Prep (Kindy) to Year 12 private school located just 13 kilometres south of Brisbane CBD. Our faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of our culture. We believe that every person has been designed on purpose for a purpose and we cheer on each child so that they can flourish and achieve all that God has called them to be.

Whether in the classroom, onstage or on the sports field, our students thrive in our supportive environment.
At Brisbane Christian College our holistic approach to education ensures that every student,
no matter their belief foundation or their talent, is known and cared for.

Southside Christian College. 1985

109 Golda Avenue

The College was opened by Pastor Chris Peterson on a renovated industrial site with 12 staff.  From the very beginning the school was a partnership between parents and the church who wanted to give their children a high quality Christian education.

Primary Campus

109 Golda Avenue, Salisbury

The College originally started on this site which now hosts our Primary School for students from Prep to Year 5 across three streams.

Pre-Prep Centre. 2010

28 Rookwood Avenue, Coopers Plains

The Pre-Prep Centre opened in March 2010 to meet the local need for an educational play-based program along with leading facilities, colourful outdoor play area and christian worldview.

Middle and Secondary Campus. 2016

63 Fairlie Terrace, Salisbury

In 2016, Brisbane Christian College opened the Middle and Secondary Campus on Fairlie Terrace after the successful purchase of the former Nyanda State High School campus. Years 6-12 students enjoy this bushland campus that is conveniently located just a few minutes from our Primary School Campus and Pre-Prep Centre.

Middle School Precinct. 2026

63 Fairlie Terrace, Salisbury

With a proposed launch date of 2026, the new Middle School Precinct is an exciting and purpose-built educational development offering eleven generous-sized classrooms and multiple large outdoor learning spaces. Nestled amongst the harmonious surroundings of our bushland campus, this precinct will strengthen our already spacious campus while increasing opportunities for the entire Middle and Secondary College and effectively position us for our future years.

In 2025, our church and college community celebrated the 40th anniversary of Brisbane Christian College. As part of this significant milestone, we created these videos to honour our rich history, leadership and the foundation that has prepared us to reach young people for generations to come!

Our community empowers students to live Christ-focused lives
