Pacific Group of Christian Schools

What Pacific Group of Christian Schools does

Pacific Group of Christian Schools Limited is an Australian private educational organization, headquartered at 9-15 Quarry Road, Dural in northwest Sydney, that operates Pacific Hills Christian School under ABN 11 001 832 828. Founded in 1979, the school delivers Christ-centred education from Early Learning (ages 0-6) through Junior School (K-4), Middle School (Years 5-8), and Senior School (Years 9-12), serving domestic and international students under CRICOS registration No. 02340G. The organization is structured as a company limited by guarantee under Australian corporate law and is governed by a Board; it is not publicly traded and has no venture or private equity ownership on record.

The school's core educational offering is delivered through a vertically integrated pathway spanning early childhood through secondary, supplemented by co-curricular programs (Creative and Performing Arts via OneMaker Academy, Sport, Mission and Service), Learning and Enrichment support, Wellbeing services, and Out of School Hours Care (OOSH). Its technology stack is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Canvas LMS by Instructure for coursework and assignment submission, Microsoft Office 365 for productivity and email, a school-supplied iPad program for K-6 students, a mandated BYOD laptop program for Years 7-12 (Windows 11 or MacOS Monterey, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 5GHz Wi-Fi), TASS for school administration (Parent Lounge and Staff Kiosk), OLIVER for library management, ClickView for video content, ePlatform for digital books, Munch Monitor for canteen ordering, and Aurion ESS for HR and payroll.

Revenue mechanics combine tuition fees (amounts not publicly disclosed) with several ancillary streams: international student fees via the CRICOS-registered program, external venue hire from a 460-seat Performing Arts Centre and a 750-capacity Multipurpose Centre (both fully booked for 2026), Café Pacifica operations with profits directed to mission work, and tax-deductible donations administered through the Pacific Vision Foundation across Building, Library, Scholarship, Bequest Legacy, Hope Schools, and Aboriginal and Rural Education funds. Distribution is direct-to-family via a 3-step enrolment process, with community outreach (PAC-HOPE Festival, parent seminars, The Excellence Centre's Understanding Christian Education course) functioning as the primary marketing and retention channel.
