William Carey Christian School ("WCCS") is a K-12 school located in Prestons, New South Wales, Australia.

WCCS has an open enrolment policy and no religious test is required of parents who wish to enrol their children at the school, however the parent body is aware of the school's distinctive Christian emphasis and are expected to support and co-operate with it.

The Board appoints teachers and other staff, as well as the principal, who is then responsible for the day-to-day running of the school. The school is very large, and has a primary section and a high-school section. Enrolment numbers are close to 1,400 students, from kindergarten to Year 12.

Infants, primary and high school departments are all built on the twenty six acre (10.5 hectares) site.

Proximity to Cabramatta Creek has provided a springboard for teaching about the environment, and encouraged students to participate in the Clean Up Australia programme.
