Membership Information Night

The Association for Christian Education of Blacktown Ltd was formed in 1958 by Christian people of Protestant persuasion. It was their intention to establish a school in which their children would be taught in a manner consistent with their understanding of the Bible. The School opened its doors in Kildare Rd, Blacktown in 1966, with 2 teachers and an enrolment of 32 students. By the end of 1968 the total enrolment was 75 students, and in 1971 the first Tyndale students left the School to attend local secondary schools.

In 1976 Tyndale Christian School ventured into Secondary Education, with planning underway to relocate the school facilities in order to allow for the anticipated growth. In 1979 the school moved to its current site on 58 Douglas Road and the first Year 12 class graduated in 1981. Tyndale’s numbers continued to increase, and the school double streamed in 1982, while the building program continued, with new primary facilities and specialist secondary classrooms added that year. 

Tyndale has been blessed with a committed, expert teaching and support staff, many of whom have been faithful to the vision of Christian education at Tyndale for many years. Mr Peter van der Schoor, Mr Spencer Warren, Mr Graham Smith and Mr Geoff Clarke have all contributed to the life and growth of Tyndale in their role as Principal, and in 1993 Mr George Glanville, who had taught at Tyndale from 1981 to 1986, returned to serve as Principal. In 2009 our current Principal, Mr Jack Joyce, took over the leadership of the School. 

The facilities at Tyndale Christian School continue to develop to keep pace with changes in curriculum and population growth. In 1995 the school realised a long held dream with the opening of the multi-purpose hall. A new TAS (Technology and Applied Studies) block, computer laboratories and a textiles room were opened in 2004 and currently the School is eagerly anticipating the completion of the new library and Trade Training Centre, comprising a fully equipped commercial kitchen. 

In 2010 Tyndale Christian School has an enrolment of over 700 students from Prep to Year 12, with over 100 staff members. As we reflect on Tyndale’s journey of over 50 years, we are grateful to those people who dreamed of a school where Jesus Christ would be central to learning and mindful of the sacrifice and commitment of parents through the years. Most of all we are grateful to God for his faithful provision, his guidance and blessing as we seek to serve and honour Him through our educational endeavours.
