Situated at the gateway to the CBD of Caloundra City, Caloundra Christian College provides quality education to the families of the Sunshine Coast. Since its foundation in 1983 as a ministry of Caloundra Baptist Church, it has grown to encompass families from all over the coast. The College vision has always been to empower children to take their place as responsible citizens in society. Delivering that vision is a devoted team of Christian teachers. They are highly qualified and motivated to provide a personally developed pathway for each learner. As a Christian school, Caloundra Christian College believes the foundations for life are established at home. When children enter school through the Pre Kindy/Kindy or Prep year, they come under the care of dedicated teachers who continue to build on this foundation for life through a Christ-centred view of education.

The history of Glenview School begins in March, 1875, with a letter from local residents to the Queensland Department of Public Instruction advising that 'there were 15 children in the area in need of schooling'. The Department's reply indicated that the community would need to provide a 'weatherproof' building and accommodation for a teacher as preconditions to a school being approved. In April, 1878, Messrs Charles Ballanger, Thomas Maddock and Richard and William Westaway formed an inaugural school committee. They discovered a suitable, existing building close to the Mooloolah River. On 15 July, 1878 the 'Mooloolah Plains Provisional School' opened with 16 students and Mr Thomas Hodgson as the teacher. Eventually, in 1908, the school was re-named Glenview School and was moved to the current site on Glenview Road. The first teacher was Miss Kate Moloney. Today, Glenview is a Queensland Independent Public School with a proud 141 year legacy of providing world class education to children from Prep to Year 6, a reputation for excellence, and a commitment to educating our future citizens. Glenview has a current enrolment of 290 students from Prep to Year 6 and a team of 45 teaching and ancillary staff.
