Our Vision, Values and Mindsets
MidCoast Christian College is a caring, friendly community.
Our Mission Statement
MidCoast Christian College has been called into existence by God “To educate excellently from a Christian perspective, developing and nurturing students’ character, faith, knowledge, skills and values in the context of a dynamic, caring and creative Christ–centred community.”
Our Vision
Empowering students to fulfil their God-given potential and make a difference in their world for Christ.
Our Values
COMPASSION
To have compassion means to empathise with someone who is suffering and to feel compelled to help reduce their suffering.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
HUMILITY
Humility means that you do not consider yourself better than others. Humility is the opposite of pride and boasting.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3
RESPECT
If you respect your teachers, you appreciate them and treat them well. At MCCC we are to respect God, families, leaders, staff, visitors, peers, property and our College.
Show proper respect to everyone; Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honour the King. 1 Peter 2:17
INTEGRITY
Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles to do what is right, even when no one is watching.
The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes the crooked paths will be found out. Proverbs 10:9
SELF-CONTROL
Self-control is the ability to control oneself, in particular one's emotions and desires, especially in difficult situations.
The grace of God....teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self- controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Titus 2:12
TRUSTWORTHINESS
A trustworthy person is reliable, honest and dependable.
Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy, in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities. Luke 19:17
Our Mindset
GRIT
Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. It is having a growth mindset and seeing failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. It’s having the courage to have a go and to keep going despite facing challenges and obstacles.
RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibility is demonstrating academic integrity and honesty; positively engaging in all classes; being prepared and on time; completing the assigned work in a timely manner with attention to quality of work, and avoiding making excuses for your behaviour.
ORGANISATION
Being organised helps you learn how to prioritise activities; set and achieve goals, and reduce stress. Having good organisational skills also makes it easier to collaborate with others and helps increase productivity and efficiency.
WISDOM
Walking in wisdom helps us to make the right choices for our lives and protects us. It equips us to handle difficult situations and relationships. Wisdom helps you work smarter, not harder. Those who have God's wisdom will show it in the way that they live
TEAMWORK
Having strong teamwork skills is essential for success in all aspects of life.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
HIGH STANDARDS
Setting high standards for yourself will help you reach your full potential. Set standards that are high but realistic and achievable for you. High standards means trying your best and producing your best work every time.
While initially established to provide Christian education for children from Christian homes, the College warmly accepts enrolments from families with no church connection who desire education based on Christian values and teaching.
All staff are committed Christians actively involved in local churches.
Our staff guide each young person towards self-discipline and an awareness of the effects of their behaviour on other people and their own lives.
The College communicates with parents through various means on a regular basis. We encourage and actively promote open communication between home and school.
MidCoast Christian College has the advantage of being able to offer your child a wide range of educational opportunities and activities. We know and value all students for their individual and unique God-given talents and abilities.
There are many events throughout the year where we come together to celebrate the achievements of our students.
Nurturing academic and Christian growth Teachers, Year level Coordinators, Student Counsellor, Chaplain and Heads of Schools closely monitor students’ progress, achievements, welfare and their Christian growth
