At Carinya, we are deeply grateful for the ongoing support of our past and present parent community, and for the government funding that helps reduce the school fees for our families. This funding is crucial, but it is the fees paid by our families that enable us to provide quality facilities for independent education.
Our Vision and Governance
At Carinya, our vision is to engage as a community in discovering the world made through Jesus for His glory. Carinya is operated by a company whose Directors are current Carinya parents or grandparents. They understand the dual challenges of rising educational costs and the need for affordable education. This insight directly informs our fee-setting and expenditure management.
Building Fund Importance
Established in 1984 when Carinya began, the Building Fund was crucial to early development, with initial contributions financing building programs to improve and extend facilities at Carinya Tamworth. Although Government Capital Grants and a portion of the annual fee income have supported recent building projects, we now face reduced funding growth alongside rising educational costs. In response, we are actively seeking to bolster donations to the Building Fund to sustain our high standards and ensure our future independence.
Your Impact
Every donation, large or small, makes a difference by mitigating the annual increase in school fees. The Building Fund creates an opportunity for families who are able to afford more than the annual fee to contribute not only to the education of their own child but to the entire Carinya community and the future of independent Christian education in New South Wales.
Tax-Deductible Contributions
Contributions to the Carinya Christian Education Ltd Building Fund are tax-deductible, as the fund is registered with the Australian Tax Office. Donations offer you a potential tax saving while you support our schools.
Upcoming Projects
A large range of projects are currently being planned including the completion of Stage 3 at Carinya Gunnedah, the construction of a new Car Park and Junior School at Carinya Tamworth, and the refurbishment of general purpose classrooms at Carinya Tamworth. We are currently working with builders, designers, and the local Councils to complete these projects.

Past and present families can help Carinya continue to fulfil its vision by donating to the Building Fund.
