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:
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
