Coffs Harbour Christian Community School

What Coffs Harbour Christian Community School does

Coffs Harbour Christian Community School is a private K-12 Christian day school operating two campuses in the Coffs Harbour region of New South Wales, Australia: a Bonville campus covering Kindergarten through Year 12 and a Coffs Harbour campus covering K-5. The school is built on approximately 160 acres and integrates a biblical Christian worldview into all curriculum areas, with a documented emphasis on the Indonesian language and cross-cultural mission programs that distinguish it from other regional independent schools. Governance is led by Principal Alison Quayle, and the school is supported by a parent body organised through the P&C and a Board.

The academic program runs from Kindergarten through Year 12, supplemented by extracurricular facilities including an equestrian centre, music studio, aquaponics facility, swimming pool, and basketball stadium. Signature programs include the Indonesia Program (recognised by the Australian Government), the Bali Mission student-trip program, Bootcamp, Churchtime, and Outreach, each designed to embed language learning, missionary service, and community engagement into the student experience. The school also operates the CHCCS Nursery subsidiary as a feeder channel into the K-12 pathway.

The revenue model combines per-student tuition — A$4,340 for K-6, A$6,560 for Years 7-8, and A$7,000 for Years 9-12, with a family cap of A$14,660 per year — with Australian Government recurrent and capital funding for registered independent schools, alongside ancillary income from facility hire and the Nursery. Go-to-market is primarily word-of-mouth and community outreach within the Christian and broader Coffs Harbour catchment, rather than paid marketing.
