Our College is an attractive affordable education option for families in Ipswich. We are a growing community catering for young people from birth to Year 10 in 2009. By 2011 we anticipate providing education to Year 12. In 2010 we commence on our permanent site on School Road in Redbank Plains. We expect to be a major education provider in the SEQ 'Ripley Valley'. We invite you to visit the College to see what is on offer. You can find us at www.staines.qld.edu.au where details of our policies and procedures are also provided. We are committed to 'Building a Community for Eternity'. Education of young people is a shared responsibility. Parents and staff are role models and so have the privilege and challenge to be the best they can. This will involve both groups participating in learning to improve their skills and knowledge. The essential characteristics of a 'community for eternity' will be Love for God and Love for Others. Matt 22:37-39 Our community values and priorities are best expressed in our 5 R's. We value: Relationships, Respect, Responsibility, Readiness, and Reasoning. Our College is named in honour of the service of the Staines family and their example of demonstrating Gods love. Proverbs 21:21 Those who pursue righteousness and kindness, find life and honour.
