The Launceston Christian School is an independent school from Kinder to Year 12, with over 670 students. Our school is Christ-centered and provides a new education program that is presented from a distinctly Christian worldview. Launceston Christian School opened its doors in 1976 with 37 students and two teachers. Today, more than 670 students attend, and 105 staff are employed at the school.
The school exists to enter and maintain strong partnerships with parents who desire their children to be equipped with a biblical worldview – a set of presuppositions that supports a view of the world through glasses of Biblical truth (and by submitting all of life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ). Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Christian education is often summarized in the Biblical mandate for Christian communities to "…demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. Core Values:
- To live in obedience to God
- To act with humility, integrity, and fairness
- To work with creativity and diligence
- To encourage participation and teamwork
- To be trustworthy and accountable to each other
Mission Statement is to glorify and honor God through Christ-centred education. This is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world yet forfeits their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
Launceston Christian School opened its doors in 1976 with 37 students and two teachers. Today, more than 650 students attend, and 93 staff are employed at the school. The school was formed through the vision of the Reformed Church for Christian Education to be taught in Launceston. An association is known as the 'Association for Christian Parent Controlled Schools (Launceston)' was established in1965, with planning undertaken to establish a school that would assist parents with their God-given responsibility to educate their children in the ways of the Lord. Association families donated money over ten years to purchase land to build the school on.
