When 22 students began their education at Taree Christian Community School in 1985, they met in borrowed buildings, guided by two teachers and a Christian community with a shared vision cheering them on.
Today, when you step onto what is now MidCoast Christian College, you’ll find almost 800 students learning on 15 acres of beautiful farmland, nestled in the heart of the NSW Mid Coast. These students are learning with new technologies, guided by teachers at the forefront of quality, modern teaching practice.
Yet one thing has stood the test of time: the vitality and warmth of our community. For generations, families have found more than just an education at MidCoast Christian College. You can see it in the quiet yet significant acts of generosity and service that make this place feel like home. The impact of this community is profound.
A MidCoast Christian College education is one where children develop strong minds and strong hearts—wise, courageous, full of faith, and prepared to make a difference in their family, community, and beyond.
Staff love coming to work because they’re not just stepping into a classroom—they’re stepping into the shared purpose of showing Jesus’ love to our students. They flourish in a place where they’re deeply valued, knowing their work is shaping the future of the Mid Coast.
Our story has been written by the everyday acts of service that quietly shape lives. And that story continues to unfold each day through the lives and actions of our community.
At MidCoast Christian College, you’ll find a place where your family belongs.
Welcome home.
Our Vision
Empowering students to fulfil their God-given potential and make a difference in their world for Christ.
Our Mission
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 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.
