Our Schools > WA > Carnarvon Christian School

Carnarvon Christian School is a non-denominational parent controlled school with a staff of 3 teachers, 2 part-time assistant teachers and a current enrolment of 61 students. We have adopted the motto; Ephesians 5:8 “Walk as children of light.” The school is located 1 kilometre from the town centre on a land area of 13 acres.  At present we have 3 classrooms, library, administration block and a large covered sports area.  Classes have multi-aged groupings which help create a family atmosphere.   Parents are always welcome to visit and help with the children.  The classrooms are spacious, have modern furniture and are well equipped with computers and broadband internet connections.  Two of the classes have data projectors and smart boards. 

Carnarvon Christian School is located in the coastal town of Carnarvon (pop 6000) which is 900 kilometres north of Perth.  Carnarvon has a thriving horticultural industry along the banks of the Gascoyne River (bananas, mangos, citrus fruits, grapes, vegetables) and fishing industry which produces bounteous catches of prawns, scallops, snapper and other delicious seafood.  Recreational activities include fishing, camping, surfing, diving and a host of sports catering for all tastes.

The school commenced in January 1995 with 17 pupils and one teacher.  It initially suffered difficulties and setbacks during its first 18 months and faced closure. The school was only able to continue due to the sacrifice and voluntary work of its teacher and board.  Carnarvon Christian School was part of the Swan Christian Education Association between 2004 and 2008 but now is again a stand alone school.  This little school stands today as a testimony to our God’s faithfulness.
