Mernda Hills Christian College, as part of Adventist Schools Victoria and with the full endorsement of Gilson College, is thrilled to announce that its Mernda campus has been granted approval by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) to operate as a standalone school, effective January 1, 2024.
This significant milestone represents the culmination of a collaborative effort between the college’s dedicated
team, the school community, and the governing bodies that support the mission to provide quality Christian education.
With the approval from VRQA, Mernda Hills Christian College is now officially a standalone educational institution, offering a unique and independent identity.
