South Coast Baptist College

What South Coast Baptist College does

South Coast Baptist College (SCBC) is an independent, non-profit, co-educational Christian school located in Waikiki, in the southern metropolitan corridor of Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 1985 following a 1983 concept from the Rockingham Baptist Church community, the college operates a cradle-to-Year 12 educational model, encompassing long-day childcare for children aged six months through kindy age, primary schooling (Kindergarten to Year 6), and secondary schooling (Years 7 to 12). It is governed by a College Board and has no external parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership.

The college differentiates itself through a suite of curriculum-integrated specialist programs, including the Vocal Academy, Football Academy, CrossFit SCBC (the first school-based CrossFit affiliate in Western Australia), and the Gifted & Talented (GATE) program, complemented by co-curricular offerings in music, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. Recent capital outlays exceed A$9 million across new flexible learning environments, a performance-focused music facility, and the GATE learning hub. Student outcomes include VEX Robotics state championship qualification and top-ranked CrossFit athletes at the Oceania and global level.

SCBC generates revenue primarily through recurring tuition fees, tiered by year level and program type, with scholarships providing 75% or 50% fee remission for qualifying Secondary students in academic, music, or sporting excellence. Ancillary revenue streams include a uniform shop, instrumental music tuition, specialist academy fees, and childcare services. Enrollment is acquired through direct channels (campus tours, a dedicated online enrollment portal, segmented Primary and Secondary enrollment teams), supported by website, Facebook, Instagram, and earned media, including a 2026 Business View Oceania feature. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the institution serves families in Rockingham, Waikiki, Kwinana, Secret Harbour, and surrounding suburbs.
