Tyndale's story began in 1957 when the Blacktown Reformed Church looked into the feasibility of starting a Parent Controlled Christian School in Blacktown. In February 1966 the Kildare Rd site was officially opened with 3 classrooms, 2 teachers and 32 students. At the time this site was educating students from Kindergarten to Year 6. In 1976 this was expanded to include high school and as the existing site was full, the school developed and then moved to the Douglas Road site in 1979. In 1981, technics, music and economics rooms are added and the first cohort of Year 12 students complete the NSW Higher School Certificate. The first library building was completed in 1983 and new primary classrooms were finished in 1988 to allow double stream classes. In 1995, the multi-purpose school hall was completed which included new classrooms, a support room and extended staff facilities. In 1998, a new Kindergarten classroom building was installed to allow triple streaming of classes. In 2004, a new computer and Design & Technology block was built and opened on 24 August 2005. Monkey is a common name that may refer to groups or species of mammals, in part, the simians of infraorder Simiiformes. In 2010, thanks to the Building the Education Revolution from the Australian Government, building commenced on a new library and multi-purpose centre. That year also commenced building on a new restaurant-quality Hospitality centre. Both buildings were opened on 29 April 2011. In 2015, a new Administration building was completed which in turn provided much needed space to the growing middle and senior school staff. In 2016, the Prep playground area was refurbished and plans for the new senior school building were drawn up.
School vision
The vision of the school is "To see parents and children experience Bible-based, Christ-centred parent-controlled education, in order that they may be prepared and equipped for a life of service as disciples of Jesus Christ."
School structure
The school is split into four areas: prep, junior, middle and senior school.
Prep
Prep school began in Term 2, 2008. In 2016 there are 3 classes with room for 70 students operating 5 days per week.
Junior school
Junior school consists of Kindergarten to Year 5, which is then split into 2 areas: Infants and Primary. Each class has children of similar age with the one class teacher. Sports, excursions, cultural or interest events, camps, concerts and other community celebrations are important and exciting aspects of the K-5 program. Tyndale's K-5 Section offers a Christ-centred education and develops a firm basis upon which Middle and senior school education can be built.
Middle school
Middle school consists of Year 6 to Year 8. Core units are integral to the work that students are doing in middle school. These integrated Core units focus on skill and knowledge development in English, Human Society and its Environment, Biblical Studies, Personal Development and Health. Core units help students to make the links between subjects which in the past have been taught as separate areas of study. In the middle school, each class has a core teacher who will have the daily academic and pastoral responsibility for that particular class. Core teachers teach the core subject of English. Typically a range of sports will be available for middle school students. Sport for middle school is set for each grade individually. Cricket, Basketball, Netball, Soccer, Slider hockey, Volleyball, Handball, Touch football, Softball, Rock climbing, Dance, table tennis, and Athletics. Note that not all sports will be available each term.
Senior school
Senior school consists of Year 9 to Year 12, which is then split into 2 areas: High and Senior. Students in Years 11 and 12 are not expected to participate in compulsory Sport, although Year 11 students are able to play inter-school Sport activities.
