Shalom Christian College 4.08

Shalom Christian College is a Uniting Church, Prep to 12, co-educational school in Townsville. It was founded in 1992 by visionary members of Congress, the Indigenous arm of the Uniting Church, and since then, has achieved much success in providing a culturally inclusive curriculum which leads to real pathways for predominantly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

Shalom is committed to a full and complete education for all students but specialises in a Christian education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. This education is in the context of the Australian Curriculum, Indigenous Culture and the teachings of Christ as practiced by the Uniting Church.

The campus is located on Hervey’s Range Road, Condon. It is opposite the North Queensland Cowboy's Football stadium enabling boarding students’ easy access to home games. It is 2km from the Willows shopping centre. The school is privileged to be set on 28 hectares of treed land which gives students ample space to walk and play.

Shalom caters for Prep to Year 6 (Primary for day students) and Year 7 to Year 12 for day and boarding students. To support the students’ attendance and learning, Shalom operates a bus service for day students and provides all students with breakfast.

The Primary school has a focus on literacy and numeracy. The Secondary school offers scholarships in Sport, Indigenous Health and in VET programmes.

We support the whole student and as part of this, all students have access to the full time school nurse. Boarding students have access to a Doctor who visits the college during the week. All students are provided with regular health checks.

The school caters for up to 160 boarding students who are provided with afterschool and weekend activities which both interest and extend their skills and development.
