Nambucca Valley Christian Community School (NVCCS) provides an education with a difference. We are a family-based school with a Christ-centered ethos and heritage. Our teachers are committed to every student. The school delivers Christian values, and quality education is personal and professional and trains students to respect and be accountable in their learning and behavior towards others. All learning at the Nambucca Valley Christian Community School occurs in a calm and secure family environment. Home and school work in close partnership to encourage children to be enthusiastic, confident, and resilient learners. Together, home and school nurture and encourage each child to appreciate, develop, and enjoy the abilities, opportunities, and responsibilities they have as a person made in the image of God. We trust that you will explore and enjoy our website and discover some of the many opportunities that Nambucca Christian Community School offers your family as you consider joining us on the journey of a Christ-centered education for your children. Nambucca Valley Christian School was born out of Christians' desire from different denominations to see a center for Christian schooling established in the Nambucca Valley. The school commenced operation on the first day of Term 1 in 1991. It started with 30 students enrolled, a Principal, and two teachers. The school's impetus came from three Congregational Ministers of the area, Reverend P Barnes, Pastor P Hannaford, and Pastor M Cathcart, in conjunction with the Coffs Harbour Christian Community School. The classrooms and facilities at NVCCS have been planned holistically and are modern and well maintained. The specialist and general learning areas across the school are spacious and provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities to take place from K-12. There are also two central covered open learning areas for students and teachers to enjoy. In May 2019, the construction of the school's new auditorium will be finished. The auditorium will be furnished with a Creative Arts stage, change rooms, and an Indoor Sports area to enjoy its community. The school also looks forward to being able to host large musical and dramatic productions. The auditorium is a welcome addition in meeting our students' educational needs as it provides more PDHPE spaces, particularly in wet weather. The auditorium will also be an ideal meeting place for the whole school community and special events. The school has a five-year Masterplan for Facilities Development, which includes the development of two more specialist classrooms and additional general learning areas. At NVCCS, we desire to form students who are confident to take their place in society to make a difference in sustainability, cultural sensitivity, and social awareness. We want to create a School that looks upwards to the God who created us, sent His Son to save us, and empowers us to live from day today. We want our students to look outwards in service to both the local community and others in various countries worldwide. We want to create a school that educates and cares for all students who walk through and in its doors. Each child is treated as an individual made in the image of God to be loved, valued, and respected as a learner. Every child is encouraged to understand that they matter because of who they are as individuals, not because of how smart they are or how much they can achieve. We teach students to be faithful in whatever they do in their school life. Encouraging faithfulness as a priority helps children learn to be positive and confident in their learning levels. They learn to do an excellent job in whatever they do. They learn to be thankful for the abilities God gives and are encouraged to share those abilities, thankfully, in the service of others. Such Christ-centered values and perspectives last a lifetime and continually impact for good in the lives of others. A school for parents! Parents matter at Nambucca Valley Christian Community School: sharing with parents in their children's education is seen as a privilege for all staff and one which we take seriously. A close working relationship between parents and teachers is a strong foundation, as we seek to teach children to be resilient, responsible, and self-motivated in their learning. View full school
