Heritage College Adelaide is an R-12 school founded in 1996 by the Christadelphians who wanted to create a learning environment where the Bible was the basic foundation. The College is located at Oakden in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. The College has approximately 400 students, as well as a Parents and Friends Community (PFA) and a Past Student Association (PSA).
Heritage College Adelaide is one of five Christadelphian Heritage Colleges in Australia; the other four are located in Perth, Cooranbong, Sydney and Melbourne.
The school motto is "Follow His Steps", which is taken from 1 Peter 2:21.
Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or college:
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Placing too much importance on where a child goes rather than what he does there . . . doesn’t take into account the child’s needs or individuality, and this is true in college selection as well as kindergarten.”
—Norman Giddan (20th century)
