Macarthur Anglican School

Macarthur is a Christian School and as such it is the School's intention and desire that the values underpinning all that is done in this community are inspired by, can be found within and are expressed throughout the Bible. Macarthur is located in Cobbitty, in semi-rural south-western Sydney, about 50 minutes from Sydney Airport and just one hour from the Sydney CBD. Macarthur has an extensive 85 acre site. An ongoing building programme ensures that students are educated in facilities that are outstanding in their design and function. Classrooms are modern, well-lit and air-conditioned.

Seek to always grow in knowledge, skills and understanding and be wise in its application using it in a way that is morally right. Strive to make everything one does better than before. Act in accordance with principles of moral and ethical conduct, and ensure consistency between words and actions. Respect and care for yourself and others, appreciate individual and cultural differences and their uniqueness by always being polite and courteous to others.

Seek to control your feelings and actions so that you do what is right and proper without the need for external influences and encourage others to do the same. Seek and communicate the truth by committing to be trustworthy and reliable in all that you do. Develop an awareness of an individual's vocation to serve God and others and work for the good of the community, not self. Be accountable for and in charge of one's own actions - spiritually, personally, socially, environmentally and within the community. Consider the best interests of others first and acknowledge that personal success is not for self, but for the glory of God. Seek to be generous in time and resources to those that are less fortunate than ourselves.

Specialist rooms for Technology, Music, Visual Arts and Science are well designed and equipped. The School Chapel, apart from being the venue for regular Chapel Services, serves as an excellent venue for performance activities such as concerts, plays, musicals and recitals. New classrooms were constructed in 2010 to house Year 5 and Year 6. In addition, a multipurpose centre was built adjacent to the St Paul's classroom block. An extension to the Stoddart Centre now houses the Cramner meeting room and Senior Students Study. The Stoddart Centre is also home to the Innovation and Research Centre which is at the heart of the Academic Culture of the School.
