Boards and Accreditations

Macarthur Adventist College is owned and operated by Seventh-day Adventist Schools (Greater Sydney) Ltd, an organisation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Macarthur Adventist College is registered and accredited in New South Wales and operates in accordance with all relevant curriculum and regulatory requirements. We are also a member of the Association of Independent Schools NSW.

Our Strategic Planning Committee helps ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the College, maintaining a well-resourced environment that supports student learning and wellbeing.

Guided by our Strategic Management Plan, the College remains focused on its spiritual, academic, cultural and organisational priorities. This plan provides a clear framework for our future direction and is available to parents and members of the wider community.

The local governance of Macarthur Adventist College is delegated to the College Management Committee, which is appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.

The Committee includes the Principal, Deputy Principal, at least one representative of the Board of Directors, a Chaplain and representatives from local Seventh-day Adventist churches. Together, these members provide oversight and guidance to support the College's mission, strategic direction and ongoing development.

The College Management Committee meets approximately six times each year. Community members wishing to raise matters for consideration by the Committee are encouraged to contact the Principal, who serves as Secretary to the Committee.

The New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) endorses the curriculum of Macarthur Adventist College and all of the courses that we offer are either NESA prescribed or endorsed. Built into these courses is a range of learning styles that meet the needs of the majority of students.

At Macarthur Adventist College, we value the partnership between home and school and recognise the important role parents and caregivers play in a child's education. We encourage families to become actively involved in College life through events, celebrations, Open Days, Parent-Teacher Interviews and other community activities.

One of the key ways families can connect with the College community is through our Home and School Association. This group of parents, staff and friends of the College works together to support the school and enhance the educational experience of our students.

The Home and School Association:

  • Promotes a strong sense of community and belonging
  • Raises funds to support additional facilities, resources and equipment
  • Assists with the planning and delivery of special events and activities
  • Encourages positive communication and collaboration between parents and teachers
  • Supports and promotes Christian education in both the home and school environment
  • Fosters understanding, appreciation and cooperation between families and staff
  • Supports the College's strategic goals and school improvement initiatives

By working together, we help create a vibrant and supportive community where students can thrive academically, socially, spiritually and emotionally.
