History

In 1994, John Lambert, the NSW Assistant Director General of Education, recognised a need in the rapidly growing Penrith area, for a Christian school and felt the Anglican Church could fill this gap. ^{[5] [6]} After being appointed Director of Schools in the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation, land was purchased in Orchard Hills and construction continued over the next 4 years before the school opened in 1998.
