About us

NT Christian Schools is a Christian organisation. There are three Early Learning Centres operating as part of NT Christian Schools: on the Marrara school campus, Kingdom Kids ELC on the Palmerston school campus, and ELC on the Sattler school campus. Each of these ELCs shares the vision of NT Christian Schools – to be Christian communities, learning together to live as God intended, offering hope for the world. In pursuit of this goal, the organisation is dedicated to delivering an interactive, genuine, and enjoyable learning setting for each child under their supervision, rooted in a Christian perspective.
