Mandurah Baptist College

What Mandurah Baptist College does

Mandurah Baptist College Inc. is an independent, non-profit co-educational Christian school operating from a single campus at 22 Catalina Drive, Lakelands, Western Australia, serving students from Pre Kindergarten through Year 12. Established in 2005 as a Year 8–12 high school with 86 students, the college has expanded to over 1,300–1,480 students with a full Pre K–12 offering, adding Primary School in 2008 and an Early Learning Centre in 2020. It is governed by a Board of Directors and affiliated with the Baptist tradition, though it operates autonomously and welcomes families of all faiths. The college has executed four stages of a Master Plan, including the 2020 opening of the Early Learning Centre and Nature Playground, the 2022 STEAM Centre, the 2023 outdoor sports expansion, and the 2025 Stage 4 Secondary School GLA block (Block H), with the Secondary School expanding from four to five streams commencing Year 7 in 2025.

The college's core product is its educational program, structured around the Western Australian Curriculum with differentiated learning support, a Specialist Program for high-achieving Year 10 students, and Future Pathways encompassing ATAR, General, VET, and university enabling programs (Curtin UniReady, TLC Murdoch). Co-curricular offerings include the MBC Futsal Academy (delivered in partnership with Soccer De Brazil), extensive sports and performing arts programs, the MBC Bus Service, and Out of School Hours Care via Camp Australia. The 1,200-seat Lakes Theatre is operated as a regional performing arts venue available for external hire. Technology is limited to standard third-party platforms — Spriggy for canteen ordering, Transportme for bus tracking, Humanitix/Trybooking/Eventbrite for ticketing, and recruitment systems — with no proprietary technology platform.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and fees published in a Fees and Charges Booklet (2026), supplemented by ancillary income from uniform sales, Lakes Theatre venue hire, bus service fares, and canteen operations. The college does not offer scholarships, bursaries, or fee concessions, with a $50 non-refundable family registration fee and a non-refundable confirmation deposit. Customer acquisition is sales-led via website, prospectus, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), campus tours, open days, and community events including the annual Future Directions Careers Expo. GTM is geographically constrained to the Bindjareb (Mandurah) region of Western Australia.
