Where it all began - a brief history
It all began with an idea ...
Foundation Christian College began with a vision placed on the hearts of a small group of Christian parents. In August 1994, they recognised the need for authentic Christian education in the Mandurah region and committed themselves to establishing a school where children could learn and grow in a Christ-centred environment.
That vision became reality in February 1997 when Foundation Christian School opened its doors with just 22 students, one Principal and one teacher. Operating first from a local hall and later from a church as enrolments increased, the school quickly became a thriving community of families united by a shared commitment to Christian education.
God continued to provide every step of the way. A permanent site was secured in Greenfields, and in May 2000 the first stage of the College was completed, allowing students and staff to move into their own purpose-built facilities. What had started as a simple dream was becoming something much greater.
Over the years, the College has grown significantly while remaining true to its founding purpose. New facilities, including specialist learning areas, a Multi-Purpose Hall, Senior School, Early Learning Centre, and the 300-seat Performing Arts Centre, have expanded opportunities for students to discover and develop their God-given gifts and talents.
Today, Foundation Christian College is a vibrant Kindergarten to Year 12 learning community of more than 800 students, situated on a beautiful campus in the heart of Mandurah. While much has changed since those early days, our mission remains the same: to provide authentic Christ-centred education of the highest quality, nurturing young people to become all that God has created them to be.
From 22 students in a hall to a flourishing College serving hundreds of families, our story is ultimately one of God's faithfulness, provision and blessing. We give Him all the glory for what has been accomplished and look forward with excitement to what He has planned for the future.
In 1994 there was nothing but a desire for a Christian school. As of today, there are over 800 students enrolled at Foundation Christian College. God is so good!
