Principal's Welcome
Welcome to Penrith Christian School, a modern and vibrant co-educational Toddler to Year 12 learning community in the Nepean Region.
Meet our Principal,
Mrs Geraldine Paynter
We are proud to be the school of choice for families, leading the way as specialists in Christian education.
Penrith Christian School has been honoured to serve our local community for more than 40 years. Our school is unique in its vision and mission, and is well-known for its commitment to knowing and caring for our students from the Early Learning Centre to our senior years. Our bespoke framework for all that we do, ‘Great Learning, Well People’, provides us with the lens’ through which we work together as a community—with Christ as our foundation and a dispositional-growth approach to the growth and development of our students so that they are well-equipped lead lives of purpose, hope and aspiration.
Our core values of Truth, Integrity, Excellence and Service also permeate the culture of our school. Our students are encouraged to live out these values in their everyday lives as an expression of their faith, their connection to their school and local community, and as a way to honour their God and their families.
Penrith Christian School offers a nurturing environment with a strong commitment to student learning, pastoral care and wellbeing, a thoughtful Christian approach to all aspects of growth and development, and a wonderfully connected school community.
A strong focus on effective teaching and learning.
We have a strong focus on effective teaching and learning, with dedicated Christian staff who provide a nurturing and safe environment.
We understand the privilege it is to walk alongside families during the formative years of their children's lives. For us, it is a spiritual responsibility as well as an educational one, and our staff understand the importance of their role as a calling and ministry.
You are warmly invited to see how your family can become part of our PCS community, and perhaps begin this journey with a school tour. I know that you will find a warm and welcoming community here, just as many others have done before you. We consider it an honour to support you and your family through your child’s schooling years, and I know that a PCS education will make a difference to your child and their future.
