Association and Democratic Principles

Son Centre Christian College was founded in 1993 as Son Centre Christian School. It began as a Prep to 6 primary school at the John Knox Presbyterian buildings in Campbell St, with 46 students and 2 teachers. The school moved in 1995 to its current location, a beautiful rural environment on the edge of Swan Hill, former home of the Donnington Golf Course, where students are able to enjoy the wide open rural spaces.

Board and Association

The Association (made up of Members of Son Centre Christian School Limited - a company limited by guarantee) contains both parent and non-parent members committed to Christian parent controlled education.  The Association elects a Board, which is responsible for the running of the school, and which appoints the Principal and Staff.

For further information about joining the Association please see Information for Prospective Members and Association Membership Application.
