Dubbo Christian School is affiliated with Christian Education National (CEN), an Australia-wide network of independent Christian schools. Our school was established to provide high quality schooling which is Bible based and Christ Centred. We provide professional support to our parent community in their God-given task to instruct their children in all aspects of their lives so that they may become discerning and responsible citizens in both our school and also the wider community.
Our school was established in 1983 as a K-6 co-educational Christian school and has since grown to be a Preschool to Year 12 school of approximately 600 students. Our parent community live and work in Dubbo and surrounding towns. We are located on a beautiful campus in the major regional city of Dubbo, and draw from a wide area in the central west of New South Wales. In 2014 Dubbo Christian School assumed operation of Wellington Christian School, a K-6 school located 30 minutes east of Dubbo in the town of Wellington.
Our mission is to provide authentic, responsive and high quality education that is Bible based and Christ-centred to prepare, equip and transform lives. Our vision is; 'In partnership, to equip students with a distinctive and responsive education, to be transformational with a heart for Christ.'
Our Mission, Vision and Core Values form the foundation of all that happens at Dubbo Christian School. Students from Dubbo Christian Preschool right through to Year 12 at Dubbo Christian School are involved in a range of activities across the school day and year, including excursions, camps, workshops with visiting guest artists, musicals, sporting activities and community events. We welcome new families to our school community throughout the school year.
The K-6 department of DCS continues to strengthen and build upon a biblical foundation of teaching and learning experiences in order to grow just and morally founded young Christian men and women. While it goes without saying the fundamentals of Literacy and Numeracy are taught explicitly by highly trained teachers, students are also carefully and intentionally nurtured in the ways that Jesus taught his followers. Central to academic learning is the notion of service and care of others in all levels of Primary school. ‘We’re all in this together’ instructs students to care for his fellow man and walk beside those less fortunate than themselves.
With the exception of daily Mathematics lessons, classes are staged at Dubbo Christian School. Enhancement for students is offered via extra- curricular activities such as Musical tuition and also involvement in the Primary Band. The weekly LOTE lesson for Years 3-6 in Indonesian also exposes each student to enriched learning as well as the culture of Australia’s closest neighbours.
The concept of service is also nurtured in the Year 5/6 students through Sporting events and the Project Compassion program where all DCS Primary students support 2 young people in third world countries. Students hear and experience a little of what is like to be marginalised and the role of each individual in closing the gap for everyone.
The DCS mission statement states that our purpose is to provide high quality schooling which is Bible based and Christ centred. The curriculum is taught from a biblical perspective and students at DCS are encouraged by teachers to think critically from a biblical perspective about all areas of life.
The secondary school has attractive, well cared for grounds and provides a pleasant environment for learning. The buildings and facilities are generous and comfortable. They include a modern gymnasium, auditorium, and specialist technical and science rooms.
In Years 7 to 10 there are two classes for most subjects, with a number of subjects split into three classes. Mathematics classes are streamed by ability levels while students mix widely in other classes. Practical classes are divided into smaller classes so as to allow for greater student - teacher interaction.
