Information

Longburn Adventist College was founded in 1908. It is owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.In 2006 the school's roll was approved by the Ministry of Education for an increase. This was met with much relief, meaning more options available for students to choose from as well as helping the school to rise up from the financial difficulties it had faced since before previous principal Brian Mercer.

In 2006 Mercer, as well as vice principal Terry Rogers, resigned from their roles to return to Australia.

The new principal announced is Bruce Sharp, Sharp was already a teacher at the school when he applied for the position. [ [http://www.lac.school.nz/newsletters.htm November 15, 2006 School Newsletter] ]
