Staff, students and community members gathered at Central Coast Adventist School (NSW) on Wednesday, June 12, to officially open and dedicate the school’s new learning hub.
Located at the front of the Erina campus, the three-storey building has been in use since the beginning of the school year and now serves as the central hub for administration, finance, the school library, English classrooms and senior study spaces. A skybridge connects the facility to the secondary campus.
The ceremony opened with a welcome and words of reflection from principal Tony Kent, followed by speeches from school leaders, Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch and Adventist Schools North NSW director of education Paul Fua.
The opening also provided an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of architects, builders and the Adventist Education team, who partnered together in the realisation of the long-awaited project—first envisioned more than a decade ago.
“This space represents our commitment to growth, community and Christian education,” said Mr Kent. “We are thankful to all who helped bring this vision to life.”
School captains Charles Britt and Makenzie Whiteman shared their reflections on how the new space has positively impacted students, with particular appreciation for the senior study zones and the shared access to the Learning Resource Centre with primary students.
Following the speeches, North NSW Conference president Pastor Cristian Copaceanu led the dedicatory prayer, committing the building to God’s service and asking His blessing over all who learn and lead within its walls.
The celebration concluded with a school-led tour and cake-cutting ceremony as guests joined in fellowship and gratitude for God’s provision.
