We are delighted that you are considering enrolling your child at Genesis Christian College.
Choosing a school is one of the most significant, conscientious and financial decisions a family will make. You are about to embark on the exciting journey of educating your child. Schools are there to partner with you and play an important role in this journey.
My advice for parents, is to look beyond the prospectus and spend an hour on campus with school staff. Talk to parents whose children attend the school and examine the results and outcomes of the school; assess whether those results and outcomes are happy, successful, healthy young people.
Parents should look carefully at schools that reinforce the faith and values being taught at home, to then confidently entrust your child to educators who share your values and faith.
An excellent education built on strong Christian values and principles will reap significant benefits, throughout childhood and adulthood, with eternal significance. At Genesis, we are acutely aware of these opportunities and are determined to continue to offer the very best educational environment possible.
As a Christian school, we are unashamedly Christian. The College is not a church but holds fast to Christian values and teachings and supports families who nurture the Christian life with their children.
At Genesis, our priority is creating an environment in which students can be nurtured, feel safe, be accepted for who they are, and can pursue their goals free of interference or harassment.
The ideal Genesis graduate is well balanced and well-rounded, achieves scholastically, is resilient, develops a passion for learning, is community minded, displays the fruits of the Spirit, is responsible on-line and is a positive member of the community.
Please do not hesitate to contact me on 3882 9000 or email enrolments@genesis.qld.edu.au should you have further enquiries. We look forward to being of service to you as you prepare to choose a school for your family.

Option to Delay Prep Entry
Delaying entry to Prep is an option which may be considered in specific circumstances and where it is in a child’s best interests.
Parents may delay their child’s entry to Prep (and subsequently Year 1) if they feel that the child is not ready to start school or recommended by their teacher or by assessment. For example, the child is not ready to cope with the social and emotional or academic demands of schooling, or developmental delay.
