Livingstone Christian College

At our core is trying to understand how to live and act within a Christian framework. Livingstone Christian College has a strong focus on living out the values of Jesus. We recognise that Jesus lived and talked about living in a way that was contrary to the way most people live. So, our A Big Year virtues program has a monthly cross-College emphasis on one of the big themes of Jesus that could be loving our neighbours, being generous, practicing hospitality, being faithful, loving our enemies, practicing forgiveness, serving the poor or reforming ourselves rather than others. As part of our intention to build confidence and resilience in our students, we have also launched the truth-based social-emotional program "My Life Rulz". This program incorporates wise and insightful statements that can replace the unhealthy thinking which leads to anxiety, depression and other areas of stress. Our renewed 'language’ is transforming minds across the College.

We hope you can see that Livingstone Christian College has a unique and strong emphasis on the development of the whole child. These emphases are embedded from our Early Learning Centre through to our Senior students, where real life opportunities are provided to ensure they are ready to succeed in life beyond school. To achieve these ends, we have assembled a great team who are determined to be the best they can be, to ensure that your child flourishes at Livingstone Christian College. We have a strong commitment to professional development and performance management processes to ensure all staff, from our teachers to bus drivers, leaders to cleaners, are all working together to ensure that every child... your child... flourishes at Livingstone Christian College.

The mission of Livingstone Christian College is to educate for eternity – to prepare students for this life, and the life beyond. The staff at Livingstone Christian College recognise Jesus as the living stone, the source of life. We present ourselves to God as “building stones for construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life” (1 Peter 2: 5 MSG), a sanctuary where others can find this God who can put a new spirit in them and place them back on their feet. We also identify with the example of Dr David Livingstone, a true living stone, who gave his life in service of the people of Africa, and so that others could find this God who lives in eternity.

The vision of Livingstone Christian College is that every child will flourish. We believe that God created each child and therefore acknowledge the need to develop the whole child. The land on which Livingstone is built once housed a railroad track and the old Ormeau station. Families join our school for part of their life journey. We are committed to ensuring that while they visit this station – Livingstone Christian College – that they will flourish, find themselves as the person God intended them to be, and be prepared to succeed in the journey that takes them to life beyond school.
