Pre-Kindy to Year 12
Co-Educational Christian School
Richmond Christian College is founded on Christian faith and biblical principles that esteem partnering with parents, academic rigour, cultural relevance, and the inherent value of every student as pillars for educational success. Graduate success is defined by a student’s ability to overcome and maximise their giftings as they strive to contribute positively to their world.
Our key objective is to provide our students with opportunities that are flexible and responsive to their needs and instil an enduring sense of identity, purpose and hope foundational to their future. A safe, nurturing environment where their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing is prioritised fosters a learning culture that encourages children to be courageous, achieve their goals, think responsibly, value others and understand their intrinsic value. Our student-centred, flexible and responsive approach to education equips students with solid foundations of truth and wisdom born by experience and rigorous investigation to positively impact their local, national and global world.
We are committed to continual improvement. Therefore we value feedback from school families and members of the wider Ballina community contact us.
A Word From Our Principal
“There is no denying that the lives we lead today are exciting stories that form part of a bigger story that we all contribute to in some way or another. I believe that our stories, our experiences, mould us to become unique, valuable people. Our stories, no doubt, are also influenced by the multitude of stories that go on around us every day. These stories shape the way we view our world, and also how our world views us.
The challenge then for schools and educators that desire excellence is to provide foundations of identity, purpose and hope that enable each student to continue to write their story in such a way that it fulfills the dreams of the author and assists their readers to do the same… To be fearless in the face of failure, to do hard things time and time again, to overcome challenges that scare them…
As a Christian school we seek to empower each student to write their story in the knowledge that they have been created intentionally by God and empowered by His faithfulness to embark on an unexpected journey that fulfills not only their hopes and dreams but the hopes and dreams of those around them. ”
– Jonathon Simmons

“Maybe Christmas (he thought) doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more” The Grinch
24 November 2023 I feel obliged to write about Christmas. It is that time of year, right? It is everywhere. I was at the orthodontist with my boy this week (there goes Christmas! ) when one of the assistants called the orthodontist a grinch. “They don’t like...
Every new beginning is some other beginning’s end….Closing Time, by Semisonic
10 November 2023 Ah, the deep and profound philosophical truths that came to us through the grunge-rock scene of the late 90s. Where would we be without it! It goes hand in hand with Greek philosopher, Heraclitus’s idea that ‘change is the only constant in life’....
Jacca Time!
30 October 2023 Being an ‘old-skool’ Grafton boy, I love seeing Jacaranda trees in full blossom with a purple carpet underneath, especially silhouetted against a fresh spring sunrise or the imposing stormy sky. They remind me of the changing of seasons; the...
