Board
A welcome from our the Presiding Member/Board Chairperson
Tēnā koutou, I extend to you a very warm welcome to Wellington Hills Christian College. Our school is the reality of the prayers, dreams and the dedicated sacrifice and effort of many Wellington families over many decades. Our relocation to Johnsonville at the beginning of 2025, with modern and much larger facilities and a staff of dedicated Christian educators, will provide a pathway of quality Christian education from year’s one to thirteen. We honour those who have laid the foundations for what we have today.
Our curriculum offers an excellent educational experience where all areas of school life are viewed and taught from a biblical worldview. We seek to encourage our students in the understanding and articulation of their Christian faith, in excellence to the best of their ability, in service within the community and in living their lives with integrity as enthusiastic disciples of Christ. All our teachers are professional Christian educators who are committed to partnering with parents to prepare our students to thrive in today’s world.
If you are considering our school for your child, I warmly invite you to use the contact or enrolments tabs on the home page to engage with us or complete an enrolment application for your child. I am confident that your child can learn and thrive at Wellington Hills Christian College.
Blessings,
Nicola Geuze
Presiding Member/Board Chairperson
