Our History
Our History Of Casino Christian School
Casino Christian School, located in North Casino, New South Wales, Australia, is a beacon of education and faith in the community. We have a rich history, marked by dedication to excellence in education and commitment to Christian values.
Our Foundation
The foundation of our school can be traced back to the late 19th century. The school was led by a committed teacher and had been operational for three years from 1884. By 1890, thanks to the efforts of the Sisters who started our school, we had grown to accommodate 40 students, many of whom resided in the boarding facilities provided.
Over the years, our institution has continued to grow and evolve, maintaining a steadfast focus on advancing education and religion. We’ve always been more than just a school; we’ve been a community dedicated to nurturing young minds and spirits.
In more recent times, our school has seen significant milestones. One such event was Remembrance Day ceremonies, demonstrating our commitment to honoring history and fostering a sense of respect and gratitude among our students.
Our journey so far has not only been about academic achievement but also about fostering a sense of community and belonging. Our Facebook community, for instance, is a testament to our vibrant and engaged school family, with regular updates reaching over 800 followers.
As we look towards the future, we remain committed to our foundational principles of advancing education and religion. We continue to strive for excellence, uphold our Christian values, and nurture our students to become responsible and compassionate citizens.
We are proud of our history and excited about what the future holds. As we continue to write new chapters in our story, we invite you to be a part of our journey. Together, we can continue to make Casino Christian School a shining example of faith-based education in our community.
