Central Coast Adventist School is an independent Seventh-day Adventist co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located in Erina, on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Founded in 1969, the school is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[1][2][3][4] John Hammond was the first principal with 18 students. The school has grown to over 900 students today.[5]
History[edit]
The school was established on former farm land which was donated to the local church for the establishment of the school. Local church member, Kevin Chugg, built two classrooms at a total cost of $16,000.[6]
