Overview
Brightwaters Christian College is part of Christian Education Ministries (CEM), a protestant non-denominational, Christian Education organisation, whose mission is to develop each and every student to be equipped spiritually, academically, socially and physically to flourish and be a positive influence on the world around them. CEM is wholeheartedly committed to excellence in education so that students are well known, well loved, and well taught by dedicated, trained, Christian staff.
CEM is a growing network, with 17 schools in 5 states, and is also the largest non-government Distance Education provider in Australia.
Brightwaters Christian College is located on the beautiful western shores of Lake Macquarie and caters for K-10. The College is a co-ed, Christian school that is blessed with a spacious and modern campus. While the school community is smaller, the learning culture is strong and the potential to grow the school great.
We’re praying for the right staff to come and join our team, and we’re thankful that you would consider our College as a place where you will have meaningful relationships and do meaningful work.
