Faith is at the heart of what we do. It’s the glue that binds our community together.
Our values promote the Christian faith and we’re proud to be a place where every family, regardless of their religious background, can find hope, joy and purpose. Our Christian values empower students to make a difference in their community and beyond.
Shellharbour Anglican College is an inclusive Christian school. We welcome families of all faith backgrounds and those who do not have any religious background at all. Yet faith remains one of our core values and so we seek to provide opportunities for all students to understand and appreciate the Biblical Christianity that is our foundation.
Our founders’ vision was to provide a high quality, accessible Christian education to serve the Illawarra region. They sought to create a thriving community to raise compassionate, respectful and caring young men and women who will make a positive difference in their community and beyond.
We believe the message and teachings of the Bible provide hope, joy and purpose. Our students will discover that a life lived in service to others enriches themselves and those around them.
