Our Journey
The school land was purchased in 2021. In 2022, two building phases were completed. Agape Star Christian School (Nursery & Primary Campus) opened on 6 February 2023.
We would love for you to partner with us to continue building the school – two secondary school classrooms and boarding facilities (approximately $30,000AU) – and to provide support to cover its operational costs (approximately $25,000AU per annum).
Every small amount blesses the children we serve and support through the Barnabas Legacy Children’s Dream Foundation.
Humble Beginnings
It was amazing to raise $5,000AU in 2021 to purchase the school’s land.
A further $50,000AU was raised in 2022 to build the Nursery (Kindergarten is Nursery in Uganda) and Primary School classrooms and administration office, which opened for Term 1, February 2023.
Thank you to our generous donors who, through the gracious hand of God, enabled the establishment of the school.
Development Phases
- PHASE 1A: 7 classrooms, one administration office, toilet block and development of a Banana Plantation (June – August 2022)
- PHASE 1B: Plastering, classroom furniture, blackboards and flooring (November – December 2022)
- School Opening: February 2023
- Official Opening Ceremony and Dedication: June 2023
- PHASE 2: Student Dorms, Upper Primary and Secondary Buildings (ongoing 2025 – 2027)
- Official Opening Ceremony and Dedication of Dormitories: August 2025
Official Opening of Girls & Boys Dormitories
In August 2025, at the end of our International Field Visit, we opened our two long-awaited BLCDF Dream Star Care Dormitories. This is just the start, with plans to continue to develop these areas. We now need to fundraise to purchase the beds and new mattresses.
These Dorms are for children that don’t have families to support them. Our matron oversees the care of the children, and is our resident cook too!
The girls Dormitory, ‘Mama Aida House’ was named in honour of a woman close to our hearts who left behind big legacy, including her incredible sons, Wamala Steven our CEO, Ssegane Robert our Co-Principal, and Lwanga Eli, our Coordinator ICT.
The boys Dormitory ‘Drua House’ (Your home is our Home), was named in appreciation of the generous support from the Fijians families across Australia.
A huge ‘Weebale Nnyo!’ (thank you very much!) to all of you who continue to support us as we grow, grow, grow! You now have a special place in our School.
Our school scripture is Psalm 143:8:
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you, I entrust my life”.

Initial Partners
Beadle & Mellar Family
Mike and Sue Beadle (nee Mellar) and Sue’s siblings generously donated the first substantial donation to the school in 2022, enabling the first four classrooms to be built. The School Block is called the BEADLE- MELLAR BLOCK. The donation was made in memory of the Mellar’s parents (Brian and Jill Mellar), missionaries to Uganda orphans in the 1990s. A commemorative plaque has been placed on one of the classroom walls.
Cutler-Naroba Family
Tevita Naroba and Maree Cutler Naroba (Mr and Mrs Naroba), Co-Founders of ASCS, along with some members of their Fijian family, generously donated to the school in 2022 to enable the administration office and three other classrooms to be built. The School Block is called the CUTLER-NAROBA BLOCK.
Support ASCS by donating. Every little bit counts!
