CHRISTIAN SCHOOLING At Carmichael College we are committed to the core business of educating students for life in the world and eternity. This means that while we recognise the importance of delivering high quality educational outcomes to students for their lives now, we also value the importance of a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, placing His teaching at the centre of all that we do. That is why we also teach Biblical Studies and hold a weekly Chapel.
MISSION STATEMENT Our mission is to prepare students for life in the world and eternity by applying Biblical principles through excellent education in a distinctly Christian environment;

THE BEGINNING The story of Carmichael’s establishment as a second campus of Mueller College began in 2002 with the land being purchased in South Morayfield. Since that date, rigorous planning and funding has been undertaken to give the Narangba Valley and surrounds a school created by members of its own community.
