Why Christian Education?
Christ-Centred Growth
At Australian Christian College Benalla, we believe a child’s education should go beyond grades and exams — it should shape who they are becoming. By placing Christ at the centre of everything we do, we nurture growth that is spiritual, academic, and emotional. This balanced approach helps students develop not only a strong mind, but also a kind heart and a grounded sense of purpose.
Rooted in a Christ-Centred Vision
Our vision is to be:
Building a Biblical Foundation in the life of every student.
Praying that each student has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Helping each student to succeed in whatever God wants them to do.
This Christ-centred perspective forms the core of who we are and what we do, guiding every lesson, activity, and relationship within our school community.
Living Out Our Christ-Like Values
Drawn from the character of Jesus Christ, our values guide how we live, learn, and serve:
C
COURAGE
H
HUMILITY
R
RESPECT
I
INITIATIVE
S
SELF-CONTROL
T
TRUST
By weaving these values into everyday school life, we help students develop integrity, compassion, and resilience—qualities that will shape them for life.
A Supportive, Christ-Centred Community
At ACC Benalla, our Christian faith is at the heart of how we learn — and how we treat each other. Relationships come first here. We build them with grace, trust, and genuine care, creating a community where every student feels they belong. Our Christ-centred approach shapes more than just the curriculum; it shapes the atmosphere of the school — warm, respectful, and anchored in values that reflect who Jesus is.
Preparing Students for a Life That Matters
We believe education should equip young people not just for a job, but for a life of purpose. At ACC Benalla, students are encouraged to discover their strengths, ask big questions, and think about how they can make a difference — here in our region and beyond. Whether their path leads to study, work, or service, they leave with more than just knowledge. They carry with them strong character, a growing faith, and a sense of calling that shapes how they live and lead.
