Central Coast Adventist School is a P-12 co-educational private school located in Erina, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1969, the school is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4]
The school was established in 1969. John Hammond was the first principal with 18 students. The school has grown to over 900 students today.[5]
History
The school was established on former farm land which was donated to the local church for the establishment of the school. Local church member, Kevin Chugg, built two classrooms at a total cost of $16,000.[6]
The school buildings have also changed over time. As early as 1995 the school only had two buildings, the white building at the top of the school (which has been removed) and the old primary school rooms (which have been removed).
About the school
The Central Coast Adventist School is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Australia.
