PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
At Lighthouse Christian College, the achievements of our VCE and VCE VM students stand as powerful reminders that true success is best carried with humility. Across our senior years, we have witnessed students who quietly persevered, embraced guidance, and consistently demonstrated gratitude for the support around them. These qualities reflect the heart of humble excellence. “What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8)
One such story is that of Samatha Ly, whose remarkable journey from a capable mathematics student to Dux in Mathematical Methods highlights the impact of committed teaching and a willingness to invest extra effort in the pursuit of excellence. Her success, shaped through steady effort, collaboration, and a teachable spirit, exemplifies humility in action.
Our VCE cohort continues to embody this same posture, approaching challenges with resilience and recognising the invaluable contributions of teachers, families, and peers. Whether engaging in academic rigour or pursuing practical pathways through VCE-VM and VET opportunities, our students have shown that success is not measured solely through scores, but through the character refined along the journey.
VCE Dux - Jessica Lim - ATAR 97.2
Jessica's positive attitude, self-motivation, and well-rounded character make her a standout member of our school community.
VCE - VM Dux - Anita Polo
Anita has successfully completed her Vocational Major alongside her Certificate III in Business, demonstrating dedication and excellence in her studies.
As a community, we celebrate these achievements not merely as personal successes, but as shared victories made possible through collaboration, humility, and a commitment to growth. These stories remind us that when students walk humbly, their influence extends far beyond the classroom, shaping who they become and how they impact the world.

WELLBEING
Hi LCC Community,
My name is Jordan Brodie, and I am honoured to introduce myself as your new Chaplain. I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about my background and my heart for the incredible young people at this school.
For the last eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with teenagers from diverse ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and walks of life. My passion is helping them realise their God-given potential and the dreams over their lives, empowering them to become effective witnesses for Christ in our society.
Before joining LCC, I served as the Youth Pastor of a vibrant ministry in Melbourne's western suburbs. Most recently, I stepped into a local role at Faith Christian Church as the Assistant Creative Pastor. On a personal note, I’m a big fan of sports, video games, and love a good coffee!
My formal qualifications are:
- Diploma of Leadership (Alphacrucis University College)
- Associate Degree of Music Performance (Box Hill Institute)
- Credentialed Pastor with the Australian Christian Churches (ACC)
As I’ve been praying into this year, I was reminded of Habakkuk 3:2. Here we see the Prophet is fed up with what is happening in the land of Israel with all the sin, and he cries out to God for revival. He stands in awe of God's fame and begs Him to "do it again" by bringing those same powerful works into his own day.
I truly believe we are on the brink of a great move of the Holy Spirit in this nation, and I believe young people will be at the forefront leading it. Just as the prophet Habakkuk cried out for revival, why can’t we do the same? Why can’t we believe in faith together for God to "do it again”? for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit in our schools and our community.
I invite you to partner with us as we minister to, grow, and empower these young people to step into everything God has called them to be, seeing our schools and communities set on fire for Jesus.
I look forward to meeting you all soon!
Blessings,
Jordan Brodie
Chaplain

PRIMARY - ELC - YEAR 2
Our Prep students had a wonderful first day of school, filled with smiles and curiosity. They settled into their classrooms, met new friends, and began learning routines with great enthusiasm. We are so proud of how confidently they stepped into this exciting new chapter!

PRIMARY YEAR 3 - 6
First Aid Incursion
This week was a busy week with students starting fresh for the year at the same time as learning life saving skills.
The Year 4-6 classes were got taught how to do CPR and save a life by St Johns in schools. Each class had a session where they were taught different ways that they can provide first aid in a medical situation including CPR, DRSABC and more tips. This is such an important skill for them to learn for every day life but also as they are getting prepared for their camps happening this year.
Ask your child what they learnt and they may even have skills they can teach you as well. See if they can remember what DRABCD stands for.
Hopefully, they will never have to put these skills in to practise but rest assured if needed hopefully they can provide help.
