For generations of families in Moreton Bay, the school on Hughes Road East has been known as Northpine Christian College. In 2026, the Dakabin campus entered a new era, officially becoming Northpine Adventist College after a two-year rebrand designed to align the school more closely with the global Adventist education network while maintaining the community identity it has built since 1953.

The college officially unveiled its new name, logo, colours and branding at the beginning of 2026, following consultation with staff, students, families and alumni. The rebrand aligns the Prep to Year 12 school more closely with the wider Adventist education network, which operates schools, churches and aged care services across Australia and internationally.
Principal Jeanette Martin said the rebrand does not change the core identity of the school, but presents it more clearly within the broader Adventist community. The college says its Christian values, academic programs and community culture remain unchanged under the new name.
Ceremony marks official transition
The college formally marked its transition to Northpine Adventist College with a renaming and ribbon-cutting ceremony held on campus last January. The event was attended by staff, invited guests and former school leaders, including Adventist Schools Australia national education director Jack Ryan, South Queensland education director Gary Marsters and former principal Graham Baird.
Mrs Martin led proceedings, which included the unveiling of the college’s updated branding and signage. Pastor Sarah Redman delivered a dedication for the newly completed Stage 8 building. Staff also participated in a prayer service before gathering for morning tea. The ceremony highlighted the college’s connection to the Adventist education network.
Consultation undertaken during the rebrand process also informed the school’s updated values framework. The college adopted four core values, Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence, grouped under the acronym RISE, alongside a new motto, Together We Rise.
The college entered 2026 following the release of its 2025 senior results. According to figures published by Moreton Daily, all eligible Year 12 students achieved their Queensland Certificate of Education in 2025. Seventeen per cent of students received an ATAR of 95 or above, 43 per cent achieved 90 or higher, and 78 per cent achieved 80 or above.
The campus has also undergone several upgrades. The new Stage 8 building, dedicated during the January ceremony and scheduled to officially open on 18 May, includes specialist art and photography studios, classrooms, a primary staff room and expanded sports facilities.

Other recent works across the Hughes Road East campus include a refurbishment of the Early Learning Centre, upgrades to science laboratories and roofing works over the tennis courts. New signage reflecting the college’s updated branding has also been installed throughout the grounds.
More than 70 years after opening, the college now operates under a revised identity aligned more closely with the Adventist education system.
