Waverley Christian College is a co-educational independent Christian school with two campuses – Wantirna South and Narre Warren South. The college offers Christian education to pre-school, primary, and secondary students.
Originally established in 1978 as Parkmore Full Gospel College by Parkmore Full Gospel Church, the church and school merged with Waverley Christian Fellowship (now CityLife Church) in 1983. The college moved to its present site in Wantirna South in 1989.[3]
The college has a four-house system. Each student is placed in a house named in honour of Christians who made a significant contribution to the promotion of the Bible in Christian history. The house system conducts weekly student meetings and aims to encourage healthy competition, build team spirit and develop student leadership. Points are awarded in academic, sporting and spiritual areas of the college.
The four houses are:
| House name | Colours | Named after |
|---|---|---|
| Wycliffe | Red | John Wycliffe, a 14th-century theologian |
| Tyndale | Green | William Tyndale, 16th-century Protestant reformer and scholar |
| Finney | Yellow | Charles Finney, an 18th-century American revivalist and minister |
| Spurgeon | Blue | Charles Spurgeon, a 19th-century preacher |
