On 31st January 1967, Macksville Adventist School commenced operation with seventeen students.  By the end of the year the enrolments had grown to twenty-four.  Classes were run in the church hall, and the local church community were involved in extensive fund-raising activities to support the operations of the school.  After two years of operating debt free, the decision was made to purchase property to build a dedicated school building for the growing school community.  It took several years of planning before land was purchased and a school building was erected.  The official opening of the building, on its current site, was held in October, 1984.
