Lighthouse Christian College Cranbourne
Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:42): Last week I visited three schools in the south-east. I want to thank principal Mr Jacob Mathews, his deputy Mr Cicchiello, the board and the staff for their hospitality at Lighthouse Christian College in Cranbourne. Lighthouse Christian College in Cranbourne had the best primary results, better than any other school in southern Melbourne, and the best year 5 NAPLAN results last year, 2022. The year 9 NAPLAN results from last year show it was the third-top-performing secondary school in Melbourne’s southern suburbs, and the school was ranked 12th in the state of Victoria, although 93 per cent of its student body comes from non-English-speaking backgrounds. Last month the Herald Sun voted it as the best-value top-performing school in Victoria, although it was said to have some of the worst student–teacher ratios. Well done Lighthouse Christian College Cranbourne on your excellent results, and thank you for your time last week. I hope that your recent NAPLAN results will be just as impressive.
