St Andrews Christian College is an independent, co-educational school situated in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Wantirna South. The school was founded in 1983 by the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, and takes students from Prep to Year 12.
The College expresses a Christian and biblical perspective and approach in its curriculum and culture. Currently there are families from over 35 different Protestant denominations attending the College.
The college was the centre of controversy in 2020–22 for its suppression of sexual abuse of students by its former sports teacher and coordinator Steve Mellody, who is a registered sex offender for life. The college also gained notoriety for urging parents to support the controversial religious discrimination bill.
