Our Purpose and Culture

Our Purpose: to reveal Jesus

Darling Downs Adventist College is in existence because we believe in the profound love of Jesus and the hope, peace and joy that comes from knowing Him, and living with and for Him. We want to share this good news in our community. We are intentional in everything we do - from our attitudes, words, and actions - we want to reflect Jesus to our students, families and the wider region of the Darling Downs.

Our Vision: to be a thriving Christ centred learning community.

At Darling Downs Adventist College, we aim to be a dynamic, nurturing, inclusive school environment so that we can be a lighthouse in our community, shining for Jesus, while serving with care and excellence.

Our Mission: to enable every student to flourish.

Our belief is that all students will truly flourish when their spiritual, mental, physical and social needs are met. We want to inspire and care holistically for each person- equipping them with the beliefs, values, and skills to live a life of purpose, hope, joy and peace as a global citizen for Christ.
