Governance

Registration and Accreditation

Hurstville Adventist School is owned and operated by Seventh-day Adventist Schools (Greater Sydney) Ltd, an organisation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

We are registered and accredited by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority, which regulates all independent schools in NSW and dictates the NSW curriculum guidelines and outcomes, including responsibilities regarding the Australian curriculum.

We are a member of the Association of Independent Schools of NSW.

Our Board of Directors ensures that our school has a financially sustainable future and remains well-resourced. Our strategic plan informs our school’s spiritual, academic, cultural and philosophical direction.

School Management Council

The administration of the school is delegated to the School Management Council. The Council is appointed by the Company Board of Directors and comprises members from surrounding SDA churches, the school principal and at least one representative from the Board of Directors. The School Management Council meets four times a year. To bring matters to the Board, please contact the principal.

Home and School

At Hurstville Adventist School, we value family, where everyone is connected by community and every child belongs. Our Home and School Association is just one way of belonging to our school community. This is a committee of parents, teachers and friends selected by the Management Committee to support the function and administration of the school in various ways. The Home and School Association:

  • Promotes a sense of community.
  • Raises funds to provide the school with additional facilities and equipment.
  • Assists the school with the organisation and running of special events.
  • Encourages discussion between parents and teachers regarding school policy issues.
  • Advances the cause of Christian education in the home and school.
  • Fosters understanding, appreciation and cooperation between teachers and parents.
  • Supports the Management Council's aims and objectives.
