The College is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its sister college, Northpine Christian College, is located in Dakabin, Queensland, approximately 1 hour south of Cooroy. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4]

These Adventist schools have received A$100 million as part of the Australian government's education modernization program.[6]
