A Brief History

Carinya Christian School Tamworth commenced in May 1984, with six students in Kindergarten to Year Three.    It was started by concerned Christian parents who wanted their children's school to reinforce what they taught at home about the supremacy of Christ in all of life.

The school was founded, and continues to be run by the Tamworth Christian Education Association, an initiative of Trinity Church. The school is one of the ministries of the church, in partnership with parents and other school supporters.

Today, Carinya offers Christ-centred education to more than 700 students (Prep to Year 12) on two campuses in Tamworth and Gunnedah.
