60 Years of Education

Our History

We have come a long way from a single teacher and a church hall, expanding to our amazing team of staff, boasting two campuses within one school. Yet, our purpose to provide a quality Christian education still hasn't changed.

Our Timeline

1961

A one-teacher school began in the hall under the Castle Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church.

1965

A two-classroom school was built on two acres behind the church. Until 1968, the Castle Hill church took full responsibility for the school. That year, four surrounding churches, then called the Hills District, combined to operate the Adventist School.

1970

With financial assistance from the Greater Sydney Conference’s 'Support our Schools' scheme, the school completed extensions including one extra classroom, offices, toilets and an assembly room. Upgrading of the playground was also carried out at this time.

1978

The school continued to grow, and in 1978, the next stage of the building was completed.

1996

Major building works commenced, where a large building project began. This provided the school with a new library, computer room, reception area, offices and staff room first used in 1997.

2006

The new Early Learning Centre was opened, and a commitment made to developing a Middle and Senior School.

2010

By 2010, it became obvious that the Castle Hill site was unable to sustain greater growth, and the Middle and Senior Schools (Years 5–12) were relocated to the Kellyville campus.

2012

On 25 October 2012, NSW Senator Doug Cameron officially opened the Multi-Purpose Centre, the first permanent building on the Kellyville campus.

2021

The College now has two outstanding campuses in the Sydney Hills District: a dual-campus school with an Early Learning Centre and Primary School (Kindergarten – Year 4) located at Castle Hill, and a Kindergarten to Year 12) campus at North Kellyville.

2024

The College continues to serve the Hills District community and provides a nurturing environment focused on learning, personal development and opportunities for service.
