Southern Vales Christian College is a Christian school located across two campuses in South Australia. It is a ministry of Harvest Church. The original campus is located in Morphett Vale with a second campus opened in Aldinga.
Southern Vales Christian College first opened in September 1980 as Morphett Vale Christian Community School operating as a ministry of the Morphett Vale Baptist Church (today known as Harvest Church). A second campus in Aldinga was opened in early 1991. Both campuses are promoted as having extensive experience with special needs students.[1]
Controversy
Exposed for Homophobia by Nine News Adelaide
On 27 August 2021, Nine News Adelaide reported that Southern Vales Christian College has a policy against hiring homosexual teachers.[2] While the college defended the policy based on Australia's religious discrimination laws, South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said, "South Australia has always been a diverse, accepting, respectful state and we don’t want to have discrimination here in our state."[3]
