History
King's Baptist Grammar School
King’s Baptist Grammar School began in February 1983 as Tea Tree Gully Christian School, set up after months of planning by members of the Tea Tree Gully Baptist Church. It started with 38 primary students and grew quickly, reaching 85 students in relocatable classrooms by 1985, and the board then sought land in the new Golden Grove development for a school from Reception to Year 12.

Pedare Christian College
Pedare grew from a plan by the Anglican parishes of Tea Tree Gully and Modbury and the Uniting Church parishes of Tea Tree Gully and Golden Grove for a school that would make students life-long learners. When the Golden Grove developers proposed a ‘Joint Schools’ project with a Catholic college and a state high school, the founders joined it, and the college opened in 1986 with 90 students in Years 7 and 8.
