Under God’s blessing, Byford John Calvin School was officially opened on January 29, 1999. Surrounded by horse paddocks, fields and bush, the school was erected next to the Free Reformed Church of Byford. At the commencement of that first school year, there were five classes from Years 1-7 with approximately one hundred children.
With the 20th Anniversary of the school being celebrated in 2020, the community can reflect with thankfulness on the growth that God has allowed and blessed. Byford John Calvin School currently caters for over two hundred students from Kindy – Year 6.
The school holds many community events that involve parents, grandparents, siblings, and wider family. Events such as Open Day, Sport’s Day and Community BBQs always see a wonderful turnout of support. The school is also supported by elected members of the Council who volunteer their time to assist with the direction of the school, supporting staff and maintaining the school grounds and buildings.
