Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Fremantle Christian College Council would like to welcome you and your children to the College and affirm that you have made a great choice for your child’s education as well as their social and spiritual development. The Council understands that you want your child to be happy, safe, well educated and to learn values that go well beyond the classroom.

The Council is excited to offer you a College culture where children are loved, nurtured, affirmed, encouraged and inspired and where success is celebrated. The teachers are professional, enthusiastic, nurturing and friendly and the College is a place where parents are informed and encouraged to partner with staff.

The College motto is ‘Faith, Character, Courage’ and the vision for every student is ‘Excellent education as preparation for life.’ At Fremantle Christian College (FCC) we are privileged to be able to influence the lives of future generations of Australians, who will go on to influence society and make a significant contribution to this nation and beyond.

As the College partners with you, we encourage you to become involved in the College community. There are many wonderful people at FCC and an inclusive spirit of community is fostered. There are ways that you can be involved and these will be explained through newsletters and notes home. We encourage you to contact the College at any time, with any contributions, suggestions or concerns you may have.

Fremantle Christian College is a government registered, independent primary and secondary college and is a ministry of New Life Church based in Fremantle.
