Australian Christian College, Riverstone, NSW

School statement

Australian Christian College: Marsden Park is a K to 12, co-ed school in north-west Sydney. Learning can take place at our 5.5 acre rural campus or anywhere in New South Wales through distance education. Together with our sister-schools, we are the largest provider of non-government distance education in Australia. Our faith provides the foundation for our life and our approach to education. We believe that God has called us to love Him and to love others. We believe that servanthood is the overflow of a content and meaningful life. To this end, our students are encouraged to take the initiative in their local community to serve and to exemplify the values of a good citizen. Within the context of safe and vibrant relationships, we seek to help students to read and write effectively; to master the empirical process; and to think and communicate with clarity and passion. We utilise e-learning technology (streaming video and audio with secure social networking) to provide tailored learning solutions which hold our students accountable to the learning process while providing a supportive environment.
