Welcome to Elim Christian College Mt Albert

Kia ora and welcome! It is an absolute privilege to serve as the Principal of Elim Christian College Mt Albert. Our school is situated on a unique, historic site at the base of Ōwairaka, steeped in a legacy of Christian faith. As a Year 0–13 area school, we have the incredible opportunity to walk alongside young people for their entire educational journey, while warmly welcoming new students who join us along the way. 

I believe every student is an individual, fearfully and wonderfully made by God with unique gifts and talents. I am committed to ensuring every child is seen, valued, and known in a safe environment where they can grow in confidence and flourish in their strengths. At Elim, we want to see all students thrive and achieve their personal best.

Our school’s purpose is to provide a strong academic education through a Christian lens. Our Christian faith is interwoven into all aspects of our daily school life. We foster a heart for service, encouraging students to impact their local community and global causes.

Our students bring a wonderful diversity of backgrounds to our school, united by our shared faith. Community is highly valued, and we want all our whānau to feel a real sense of belonging from day one. I look forward to partnering with you on your child’s educational journey.

“To have an environment where artists can flourish in their artistry, where the academics are revered for their intellectual prowess, where the honest are emulated and the wise are listened to, where the quiet are respected and the unusual experience empathy, where those who are not yet ready for leadership or lack fluency in social interactions can come and grow, where just fronting up on time and in the correct uniform everyday is a measure of your character and recognized as such, where laughter and banter blend comfortably with correction and purpose in an evolving tapestry of discovery and fulfillment.”  Mr Murray Burton, Past Principal Elim Christian College
