History and Governance
Tyndale's story began in 1957 when the Blacktown Reformed Church looked into the feasibility of starting a Parent Controlled Christian School in Blacktown. The Association for Christian Education of Blacktown Ltd (Association). Was formed in 1958. In February 1966 the Kildare Rd site was officially opened with 3 classrooms, 2 teachers and 32 students. At the time this site was educating students from Kindergarten to Year 6. In 1976 Tyndale expanded to offering high school education. It then developed and moved to the current Douglas Road site in 1979. In 1981 the first cohort of Year 12 students completed the NSW Higher School Certificate (NSW HSC).[2] The early learning centre commenced with a preschool class in Term 2, 2008. The 2021 Year 12 cohort was the first to contain students who completed the whole of preschool to Year 12 at Tyndale.
Tyndale continues to operate as an independent school. Membership of the governing body (the Association) is open to any Christian committed to providing Christ-centred education who subscribes to the school's Educational Creed.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
