About ACC Launceston

Our Launceston Campus in Tasmania is a K-10 co-ed Christian school. While the school community is still relatively small (100+), the growth over the past five years has been strong and sustained as is the school’s learning environment and culture.

We have no tolerance for child abuse and take proactive steps to identify and manage any risks of harm to students in our school environments.
