Calvary Christian College

What Calvary Christian College does

Calvary Christian College is an independent private Christian school operating under the governance of Real Life Christian Church with oversight from the Uniting Church Queensland Synod, registered as a non-profit under ABN 399 885 799 28. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Carbrook, Queensland, the college serves students from Pre-Prep through Year 12 across two physical campuses — Carbrook (Early Years to Year 12, main campus with an agricultural farm precinct) and Springwood (Early Years to Year 6) — in the Logan–Brisbane–Redland corridor of South East Queensland. Student segments are horizontally defined: families seeking faith-integrated K-12 education. The institution employs 101–250 staff and runs direct-to-consumer enrolment via Principal Tours, Personal Tours, and online enquiry channels ([email protected]).

The college's core offering is a stage-based learning framework organised into six educational stages (PREP and Stages 1–6), personalised academically, socially, and emotionally. Curriculum is delivered via Junior School (Prep–Year 6) and Middle Senior School (Years 7–12) programmes, with vocational extension through VET and traineeships in hospitality, IT, sport and recreation, education support, screen and media, and agriculture. Co-curricular surface is broad, including Performing Arts (CAPA), a Sport program, an on-campus Agriculture Farm, year-level Camps, Chapel, and Clubs. A corporate partnership with Compassion International underwrites student mission trips and child sponsorship programs in the Philippines (Iloilo). Administration runs on the TASS portal (Parent Lounge, Student Cafe) and bus transport on the Rollcall real-time tracking app — both third-party SaaS, not proprietary technology. Marketing assets include the school website, an ongoing blog, and the owned video platform Calvary TV.

Revenue is generated primarily from recurring tuition and enrolment fees, with ancillary recurring streams from Bus Transportation (six zoned routes across Logan, Brisbane and Redland council areas: Zone 1 $1.60/trip, Zone 2 $4.00/trip, Zone 3 $4.50/trip, with term-pass discounts) and Out of School Hours Care. Tuition pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via [email protected]. The institution is privately held with no external equity or PE/VC investment; governance is provided by a College Council comprising Real Life Christian Church and Uniting Church Queensland Synod nominees plus parent and community representatives. No funding rounds, M&A, or major restructuring events appear in the available data.
