Manning Valley Anglican College

What Manning Valley Anglican College does

Manning Valley Anglican College (MVAC) is a private, independent co-educational K-12 school located at 94 Princes Street, Cundletown, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 2003, the school serves families across the Manning and Great Lakes region of NSW and operates under the governance of Newcastle Anglican Schools Corporation within the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle. It delivers a continuous educational pathway from Pre Kindy through Year 12, segmented into Pre Kindy, Junior School (Kindergarten to Year 6), and Senior School (Years 7–12), supported by student wellbeing, career guidance, IT/BYOD, and library services, plus an Indigenous Education program and a broad extracurricular offering spanning creative and performing arts and competitive sport.

The school's pedagogical model is built around "The MVAC Way – Learning Powered Approach," a framework drawn from Dylan Wiliam's work in Guy Claxton's Learning Power Approach, framed to develop students who are collaborative, engaged, resilient, and resourceful. Supporting infrastructure includes the eMpower learning management and parent portal, a BYOD device program, and operational systems such as Teacher Kiosk, MVAC Mail, Student Café, and Parent Lounge. Community-facing activity includes term tours, information evenings, the HSC Showcase, Creative Arts Showcase, and stage productions at Manning Entertainment Centre.

MVAC generates revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition fees structured by year level across the full K-12 range. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: prospective families engage via the school website, prospectus, fee page, online enrolment form (hosted on Digistorm), and in-person tours and information evenings. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The school is privately held and operates as a not-for-profit educational institution under its Anglican parent body rather than as an investable enterprise in the conventional PE/VC sense.
