Carlisle Christian College

In choosing a school, most families feel initially quite nervous at the new faces, the varied routines and the many rooms and buildings their child will need to become familiar with. This process is softened by our homely campus and smaller class sizes. In fact, the entire community at Carlisle remains quite connected, as most people know every staff member’s and student’s name. We call this the “Small School, Big Family Advantage”.

Carlisle Adventist Christian College is a member of the education system of the Seventh-day Adventist church, the largest Protestant education system in the world. Carlisle Adventist Christian College is operated by Seventh-day Adventist Schools (Northern Australia) Ltd, an incorporated company run by the Seventh-day Adventist church in Northern Australia. Our School exists to serve the community and is open to students regardless of their religious affiliation, ethnic background, gender or national origin.

Carlisle, as an Adventist Christian school, adheres to the teachings of the entire Bible, which is upheld as a rule of faith and practice. Students are expected to live in harmony with Carlisle’s standards and policies, showing respect for the Word of God and participating in the activities promoted by the school and its staff.

Our Prep room is a colourful place filled with laughter, fun and the joy of learning new and exciting things. It is a welcoming and supportive environment where children can ease into the school routine as they take their first step into the exciting journey of formal learning. At Carlisle we aim to support our students with a holistic approach – to develop and nurture their social, emotional, spiritual and physical needs. Values like respect, initiative, helpfulness, kindness and self-control are explicitly taught, modeled and affirmed in each child. We believe it is a privilege to partner with you in the growth and development of your precious child.

Carlisle Adventist Christian College aims to equip students with a twenty-first century education which prepare students for an unknown world. Many of our students will enter careers in their working lives that don't currently exist.

Our College offers a program for students in Years 7-12 which is designed to provide a positive and engaging learning environment. As a school we encourage each student to achieve success in reaching their personal goals. We see our role as a partnership with parents who are working with us from home to achieve the best outcomes for their child.
