Story

Longburn Adventist College is an integrated co-educational Christian school in New Zealand for years 7 to 13. It is located just west of Palmerston North in the Manawatu District in the small dairy town of Longburn. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.HistoryThe college was founded by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1908 and was originally sited at Pukekura, near Cambridge. The founder principal was Pastor Frank Chaney from Massachusetts. He was the principal, and was responsible for the design and construction of the original school, built largely with volunteer student labour.A decision was made to relocate the college to Longburn in 1913 to be closer to the centre of the country's population at that time. Initially the college at Longburn was known as the 'Oroua Missionary College'.In the early days of the college, the focus was on training young people for missionary service and most students worked, as well as studied, to pay their fees. The college ran a dairy farm, commercial vegetable garden, glasshouses, a basket factory and a lampshade business and it was from these enterprises that students earned their fees. Subjects originally offered included building construction, agriculture, secretarial and Bible work.

the teachers are very nice and they teach children a lot
Everytime I ring, it always goes to answering machine, nobody actually answers the phone, then I had to get someone to drive me out there, to find there’s a lot of staff around, so I don’t understand why none of the staff answer the phone, receptionist lady included…so ignorant.
a good place to exercise especially playing badminton. i go here every two weeks ;
Nice people and more opportunities
I just recieved a strange voicemail from this place, it really freaked me out!
Blessed to be attending LAC. Highly recommend it!
