From 1992, there was a strong interest in the establishment of a specifically Christian School in Shepparton. This stemmed from the vision of the then Pastor of the AOG church, Pastor John Cullen.
With a change in pastorate, the incoming Pastor, Charles Manley-Breen, sought the Lord and felt that it was God’s intention for the school to proceed. All efforts were then brought to bear to activate the vision. A feasibility study was instigated, a great deal of research and preparation was undertaken, and an interim School Board was formed.
The school received registration in January 1997 and opened with 24 students and 2 teachers, Mathew Paterson (also Principal) and Sandra McGowan.
A significant change to the school occurred in July 2009 when Shepparton Christian Community School commenced operation as a separately incorporated non-profit company limited by guarantee, in its own right. (Historically it operated as an activity within the incorporated association, Shepparton Assembly of God Inc.). From July, the college became an independent company, with its own board, operating under the new name of Shepparton Christian College
We are greatly indebted to the Shepparton AOG for making the church grounds available and for the tremendous investment of resources – time, money, research, labour and prayer. We also appreciate their kindness in willingly absorbing any inconvenience that the school may and can be.
Shepparton Christian College is affiliated with Christian Schools Australia and Independent Schools Victoria.
