William Carey Christian School (WCCS) is a private coeducational P–12 school located in Prestons, New South Wales, Australia. Enrolment numbers are close to 1,250 students, from kindergarten to Year 12.
William Carey was established on 9 February 1984. A preparatory school adjoining the school grounds[1] opened at the beginning of 2010. The school is very large, and has a primary section and a high-school section. The school also offers Before and After School Care and Vacation Care from the same facility. Infants, primary and high school departments are all on the twenty-six-acre (11 ha) site.
WCCS has an open enrolment policy and no religious test is required of parents who wish to enrol their children at the school, however the parent body is aware of the school's distinctive Christian emphasis and are expected to support and co-operate with it. The Board appoints teachers and other staff, as well as the principal, who is then responsible for the day-to-day running of the school.
