Why Enrol in a Private School in Redbank Plains, Ipswich?
Staines Memorial College is a private school in Ipswich, dedicated to providing a distinctly Christian education that nurtures students in faith, learning, and character. We partner with parents and carers to deliver a holistic education grounded in a Biblical worldview, equipping young people to grow and reach their full potential for God.
Our mission is to see students pursue a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and develop a Biblical worldview that helps them navigate life. We encourage students to strive for their personal best, take ownership of their learning, and achieve at least one year’s growth each school year, regardless of their starting point. Beyond academics, we instill thoughtfulness, self-discipline, and personal responsibility, helping students embody the lifelong character qualities of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
A Private Christ-Centred Education for Every Stage
We provide a high-quality Christian education from the early years through to senior schooling, nurturing students in faith, learning, and character within a supportive private school environment.
- Kindy & Primary – Our Primary years lay a strong foundation in faith, literacy, and numeracy, setting students up for lifelong success. As a private Christian school, we ensure that every child is taught by experienced Christian educators who cultivate a love of learning while integrating Biblical principles. Our curriculum aligns with the Australian Curriculum while maintaining a Christ-centred worldview, helping students develop both academically and spiritually. We believe that education extends beyond academics—it shapes character, strengthens faith, and equips students with the skills and values they need to navigate the world with confidence. Our goal is for every primary student to grow in their relationship with Jesus while achieving strong literacy and numeracy outcomes that prepare them for future academic success.
- Secondary – Our Secondary years focus on academic excellence, leadership, and personal responsibility, preparing students for various pathways, including university, vocational training, and apprenticeships. As an independent Christian college, we are committed to fostering both academic and spiritual growth, ensuring students develop resilience, integrity, and a Biblical perspective on life. Our dedicated Christian educators support students in achieving their personal best while encouraging them to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. By offering a well-rounded private school education, we empower students to pursue their full potential with strong values, critical thinking skills, and a firm foundation in faith.
