Hunter Christian School

Every student has been created unique, valuable beyond measure and called to their God given purpose. We encourage our students to live authentically, think deeply, to serve selflessly and stand together. We are gentle but strong. Kind but courageous.

We guide and serve them as we teach them to guide and serve others. We teach persistence and model integrity. We ignite their love of learning and develop their individual gifts, so they may rise into adulthood as purposeful, capable and compassionate leaders. Leaders equipped with the capacity and purpose to transform their world into a better place.

We have the highest honour and the greatest responsibility, to empower every child to live life in all its fullness. Our passion is to provide opportunities, inspire possibilities and nurture every child, to draw out noble hearts, infinite minds and able hands.

We are all unique, valuable beyond measure and called to purpose by God. At Hunter Christian School, we inspire possibility, enable opportunity and nurture the unique light in every child, drawing out noble hearts, infinite minds and able hands. We see a future where every child leaves school knowing who they were born to be, through the love of Christ and our connection to one another. We’re here to empower every child to live life in all its fullness, with the capacity and purpose to transform their world into a better place.

Our vision is to partner with Christian families and the Church to equip and empower children to attain their full potential in Christ, within a loving, serving, caring school community. Together we honour Christ, learn without limits, unite in community, serve selflessly and strive to live courageously.

Every child holds infinite potential and with the right support, modelling, knowledge and skills they can believe in their own potential and strive toward achieving it. It is through experience, connection and community that we learn most about ourselves. At Hunter Christian School we provide those opportunities and through our Transformative Learning approach, we teach our students to honour God, themselves and others.

Founded as a ministry of Mayfield Baptist Church, our school first opened with Primary classes in 1981 and was one of the first Christian schools in the Hunter Region. Hunter Christian School began when members of Mayfield Baptist Church recognised the need for an educational facility that would teach students from a Christian worldview perspective and produce an inclusive, friendly community for school families.
