Introduction

The magnificent property comprising purpose built, architect designed facilities, an oval and basketball/netball courts, is situated on the outskirts of Wodonga. With a beautiful rural outlook, it is located just 4 km south of the Wodonga Shopping centre just off the Beechworth road.

Governance

The registered authority for Mount Carmel Christian School is the Mount Carmel Christian School Cooperative Ltd.

The current Chairman of the Board, Mr Stephen McIntosh, started the school way back in 1980 with his wife Anna. The board meets regularly to maintain oversight of the school and its operations.
