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:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
