Rehoboth Christian College

Rehoboth is a community of Christian families with a rich heritage stretching back over 50 years. We consider it a privilege to be able to partner with families in the nurturing and education of their children. It is always deeply rewarding to see our students mature into young men and women of strong character, and we value each of them as individuals made in God’s image.

Rehoboth is Western’s Australia’s first and most experienced parent-controlled school for Christian families. Our story stretches back to 1959, with the founding of the Association for Christian Education by a group of Dutch migrants who had been educated in Christian schools. As they settled into their new home, these men and women sought to continue this tradition of Christian schooling for their children.

A secular education, with its humanistic ideals, praises man and what he has made and discovered and understood; but even among Christian schools, there can be differences. We consider the singular purpose of Christian education is that it should lead students to think and live for the glory of God in every aspect of their lives. This feeds directly into our educational philosophy for what a distinctly Christian education means at Rehoboth, and forms the basis for our vision, mission, and purpose.

No educational model is values-neutral, and so we choose to make ours thoroughly Christ-centred because we believe that it is Jesus Christ, not man, who is at the centre of all things. This truth forms the basis of our Christian worldview and is at the heart of our teaching and learning. On the basis of this, we have developed four core beliefs.

Over 50 years of providing Christ-centred education, we have developed several characteristics that are “distinctly Rehoboth” and help explain who we are and what we value. To learn more about some of the things that make Rehoboth unique amongst Western Australian schools, download our Rehoboth Distinctives booklet, written by former Principal Rob Geijsman and originally published as a series of newsletter articles.
