William Carey Christian School

[EduCativ]

William Carey Christian School was founded in 1984 with only four students as the realization of the vision of a small group of committed families who saw the need for a Christian school in the Liverpool and Campbelltown region. Since this small start in a local church hall, we have grown to become a Prep to Year 12 co-educational school community of over 1300 students, offering a wide range of learning opportunities and challenging and supporting all of our students to excel in their growth and success.
William Carey Christian School is committed to transforming lives by the gospel's proclamation and delivering an excellent Christian education accessible to the whole community. Our students grow in understanding of living God's way in God's word as God's image. We offer a wide range of subjects that are taught with a biblical perspective. Students participate in Biblical Studies lessons and experience the positive impact Christian lives have on others.
Learning is the focus of all activities. All our students are well-known and are encouraged to learn with a growth mindset. Learning occurs through ICT-rich, differentiated, and engaging programs, delivered by teachers who are well informed by student data and evidence-based educational research. We offer a wide range of sporting and extracurricular opportunities to complement the subjects taught in class.
Students learn best in an inclusive, supportive, and safe learning community and environment. Our school's pastoral care and welfare programs equip and support students in their learning, promoting a strong sense of belonging and building godly relationships with each other and the community to meet life challenges now and in the future.
We firmly believe that schools have a crucial role in partnering with families to prepare students for adult life in a rapidly changing world. As such, our students learn how to learn and develop attributes that will equip them well for their future. We work alongside families to develop our students' attributes of understanding, creativity, clear communication and collaboration, respect, service and leadership, and making wise and courageous choices. This holistic approach to student learning provides a strong start to life.
Our school's motto, "Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God," was coined by William Carey, who devoted his life to India's mission and is considered the "father of modern missions." We trust in what God has done and has promised to do, and, in turn, we inspire our students to respond and trust in God and the gifts he has given them to grow and excel at school and attempt great things now and in their futures.
William Carey Christian School is a community that has the gospel at its heart; therefore, we intentionally care for and support each other. Through a partnership with parents and carers, WCCS engages young people in the highest quality learning activities while promoting well-being and respect.
At Carey, we value and empower families and staff alike. We encourage students to be lifelong learners by ensuring that our staff also actively engage in continuous learning through professional development and researching best practices. Our teachers are passionate and knowledgeable about their subject content, and they know each of their students well.
The foundation of WCCS rests on the philosophy of head, heart, and hands, which encompasses a holistic approach to the Bible. Within this approach, we recognize that knowledge (head), passion (heart), and actions (hands) are of equal importance in living a life of Christian integrity. WCCS parents regularly comment that our school is an intentionally nurturing environment where all staff actively care for students and their families. Our priority as educators is to set our students up for life by catering to their individual needs.
