Shalom Christian College is an exciting venture in Indigenous education development (P to12) based in Townsville. Many of our secondary students are from remote communities in Queensland, including Torres Strait Islands, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia and board at our two campuses. In 2008 and 2009 Shalom has achieved encouraging upward movement in NAPLAN testing. The College is heavily involved with NALP (Accelerated Literacy) and is presently building a better ESL foundation on which to layer the AL tools. Our current student population is around 300 with growth expected after the main campus dormitory refurbishment. Shalom, as a Christian School, encourages students to explore their spirituality within the context of the wisdom seeded here with Australians First peoples through the unfolding revelation of God's Word - the Bible; and through an Australian Indigenous Christian worldview. We pursue equal opportunity and scholastic excellence for our students, being positive by choice and proudly indigenous. Shalom Christian College; Many Cultures - One Faith.
