Our History

Our school here in Morphett Vale was established after an approach from the Eldership of Shekinah Christian Fellowship (Gateway Church) to start a school in the south of Adelaide. Based on discussions between the Church and the Board, Sunrise Christian Morphett Vale was established in 1994. The school was housed in classrooms (where the ELC is now located). The Office Manager at the time, Mrs Page, had an office which was only about 2×3 metres!

The school, faithfully nurtured by staff and leadership, grew and thrived while being energised by an enthusiastic parent group. Today, the school is governed and spiritually guided by Adelaide Christian Schools (ACS), an incorporated association that governs several schools, including Temple Christian College, Sunrise Christian School – Whyalla, Adelaide Christian Schools Early Learning Centres, Discovery Christian College in Queensland, as well as international schools, and Sunrise Bethel and Edai Town Christian Schools in Papua New Guinea.

Sunrise Morphett Vale is pleased to offer Christian families ELC - Grade 6 with pathways to middle school at Sunrise Marion or high school at Temple Christian College at Mile End.

We invite you to come in for morning tea and the opportunity to get to know us and our school. More than that, we would love to show you how we can partner with your family in the development of your child’s faith, character and academics.
