Upper Junior School Teacher

Northside Christian College was established in 1985 to provide an education that was academically excellent and spiritually wholesome for local Christian church members. Over thirty-five years later, Northside is now a leading private, co-educational, non-denominational Brisbane Christian college in Everton Park. We offer Christ-centered education from Prep to Year 12 on one campus. The College has become respected for great academic results, commitment to character development, sporting spirit, and passionate community service.
