C OLLE G E
Red Rock Christian College has a long and strong history of educating,
supporting and empowering primary students, and as of 2018, young
people in their secondary years.
At RRCC our belief that all young people are fearfully and wonderfully
made is at the heart of what we do. It motivates us to seek ways to see all
young people flourish. Our strengths-based wellbeing approach enables
us to focus on what is ‘right’ with people, to empower young people to
embrace their strengths, build a strong positive identity and establish
healthy relationships.
We have partnered with Peter Hutton, former principal of Templestowe
College, to create a flexible learning model which enables students to
progress according to learning readiness and not age. What we do is
empower students to own their learning, pursue their passions and
influence their world with integrity.
It is in the primary years that foundations are laid; foundations for building
a life of learning, for forming healthy mindsets, and for developing
character. A child’s experiences and environment in the early years are
highly influential in the way they see themselves and others. In the primary
years, we focus on developing a healthy identity, resilience of character
and the ability to value others and to interact positively with peers and
teachers. We know with a good foundation our children will be better
placed to thrive in and not just survive their years of school.
The Secondary years at RRCC is a place to build on this foundation – to
coach and walk alongside our teens as they become more independent in
their thinking, as they explore and form opinions about the world and their
place in the world. As a Christian school, we help our students understand
God’s loving view of the world and its people and to recognise the unique
ways in which they can bring life, justice and hope to the world.
The Secondary years are about honouring and supporting the capacity
within our young people to increasingly manage and choose their
education. It is about equipping them with character, skills and
understandings that will prepare them to influence their world with
integrity. From Prep right through their secondary years, education at Red
Rock Christian College is about empowering young people to know their
strengths, pursue their passions and to make a difference in the world.
