Carinya Christian School, Tamworth is a comprehensive, Prep to Year 12 school, situated in a delightful semi-rural environment on the outskirts of Tamworth in northern NSW. The school has a student population of over 600 students and a staff complement of over 65 part time and full time teaching staff. The aim of the school is to support parents in the education of their children, by engaging each student in a biblical, Christ centred curriculum within the framework of the relevant syllabus requirements prescribed by the NSW Board of Studies. The learning and achievement of each student is valued equally and staff at all levels seek to create a classroom environment which values each child as an individual and emphasises learning in community and co-operation, not rivalry and extrinsic rewards. Carinya has excellent facilities, with air-conditioned classrooms, computer labs, a modern Library and an outstanding Performing Arts Centre. Students enjoy a rich and varied school life and have many opportunities to share their sporting, cultural and recreational interests with others. Currently, all school staff are seeking to integrate Information Technology in every aspect of the curriculum, as we prepare our students to live and learn in the modern world.
