In 2023, we celebrated Kennedy Baptist College’s tenth anniversary. This year, we will commemorate 30 years of Educational Excellence and Christian Mission.
Kennedy Baptist College has been able to reap the blessings of being a young school, with the energy to reach our goal of being Perth’s leading co-education Christian secondary college, while also benefiting from those schools that set the foundations of educational excellence: Winthrop Baptist College and Somerville Baptist College.
Winthrop opened its doors to 57 Year 8 students in 1994 and, after their early success and an increasing demand for great education, was followed by Somerville Baptist College in 1999, with 70 students of their own enrolled under the tutelage of four full-time staff. These outstanding Colleges combined in 2013 to form Kennedy Baptist College, where over 1200 students now seek to achieve their best and to grow.
In 2024, we look back on our humble beginnings and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Winthrop Baptist College and the enduring impact of our founding schools. We remain committed to excellence in education, innovation in teaching, and the Christian Mission of Winthrop and Somerville, and we recognise the union of strengths, values, and aspiration that their amalgamation into Kennedy symbolised.
Thank you to all those who contributed to the enduring legacy of these Colleges, including their founders, faculty, students, families and supporters. Your dedication, passion, and unwavering belief in the transformative power of education have propelled us forward, steering us towards the pinnacle of excellence at Kennedy Baptist College.
As we celebrate our shared history, accomplishments, and aspirations, we invite our esteemed alumni and former staff to join us at Kennedy Baptist College in honouring the past, celebrating the present, and embracing the future.
Celebrate With Us
