Brisbane Adventist College is a Prep to Year 12 independent Christian school located in the Brisbane suburbs of Mansfield (primary school) and Wishart (secondary school). Part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system, enrolment is open to families of all faiths.[1]

Brisbane Adventist College started as a primary school in 1966. The Primary School was one of the first established in the Mt Gravatt area. A Secondary School was established in 1972 along Wishart Road. Both campuses grew steadily over the years. Then in 1999 they were amalgamated, along with the Early Learning Centre, into one college. Affectionately known as BAC, the school continues to provide Christian education for students from our wider community. The current student catchment is wide-ranging and extends from Ormeau and Ipswich to the Bay area.

Spiritual aspects

All enrolled students take religion classes. These classes cover such topics as biblical history, and Christian and denominational doctrines. Teachers in other subject areas may also begin each class period with prayer or spiritual thought, and encourage student input. Weekly, the student body gathers for an hour-long chapel service.

Athletics

The college offers the following sports: touch football, basketball, rugby (League and/or Union), netball, futsal (soccer) and volleyball.
