Australian Christian College is an independent non-denominational Christian co-educational primary and secondary day school, located in the north-western Sydney suburb of Marsden Park, New South Wales, Australia. The school caters for students ranging from Kindergarten to Year 12. Year 12 students are able to complete their Higher School Certificate at the school.

Australian Christian College – Marsden Park is one of twelve[1] Australian Christian Colleges located in Australia.

Overview

The school's vision is to develop students who are equipped spiritually, academically, socially and physically to be a positive influence on the world.

The school is owned and operated by Christian Education Ministries Ltd[2] and is a member of Christian Schools Australia and the Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales.

Ex-principal Paulle Kwok assisted in establishing the school in 2007. It has grown to approximately just over 1000 on campus students and 600 distance education students. In 2011, the school celebrated its first graduation of a Year 12 HSC class.[3]

Most students that attend the school reside in Elara, Marsden Park, Riverstone, The Ponds, Kalina, Stanhope Gardens, Schofields, Quaker’s Hill, Plumpton, Kellyville, Kings Park, Oakhurst, Castle Hill, Parklea, Glenwood, Doonside, Glenndenning, Hassel Grove, Bella Vista, Rouse Hill, Annagrove, Blacktown and Beaumont Hills. In addition, the school offers distance education to students who reside across New South Wales.

Enrolment is open to Christian students of all denominations as well as non-Christian students.

During 2011, the school opened a new A$3 million multi-purpose centre (MPC) funded by the Australian Government's Building the Education Revolution scheme. The MPC includes an indoor sports arena, canteen and classrooms.
