Studying through Distance Education
Although Whitsunday Christian College offers a range of subjects from fields of study including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Technologies, The Arts, and Health & Physical Education, some students have particular, specific interests that are not currently catered for as an on-campus option. For these students, distance education is a viable option to be considered.
Whitsunday Christian College currently offers distance education through two main providers, Brisbane School of Distance Education and Cairns School of Distance Education.
