Long before students filled its classrooms, the land at 12–16 Youngs Crossing Rd had a very different purpose. In its earlier life, the site served as an equestrian training ground, where horses once trotted along tracks that today are pathways between buildings. That quiet, rural character shifted dramatically in 1989, when the land was purchased for a bold new vision: the creation of Genesis Christian College.
The school opened its doors in 1991, welcoming just 35 students from Years 1 to 7. In those early days, classes were held in demountable buildings, while a nearby church was adapted to meet the needs of the fledgling school community. It was a modest beginning, but one that laid the foundations for the vibrant educational hub that Genesis Christian College would become.
The surrounding area was changing too. A 1993 photograph captures the evolving landscape of Youngs Crossing Road: new roadside plantings framed in timber, a fresh footbridge, and the first signs of suburban planning replacing a more rural backdrop. By 1996, development along the road was well underway. Land clearing and excavation signaled the start of a transition from open paddocks to the suburban neighborhoods we see today.
