About us

As committed Christians, Araluen’s staff and teaching team do not view their jobs as simply earning a living, but as opportunities to make a difference in the lives of the children with whom they interact. They believe that students are individuals and endeavour to love, nurture, help, protect and prepare them through positive teaching. At Araluen Christian College, our teaching strategies are based on the concept of formational learning – an approach which helps students respond with their head, heart and hands. Our goal is to help them learn about God’s world and to find their hope in Christ.
