Every classroom is a space of discovery, dignity and hope.

We work in partnership with families to deliver excellence in learning for students across Western Sydney. Our teaching draws on both Catholic tradition and evidence from cognitive science on how we learn.

A Catholic education in our schools is seen as a deeply personal and shared journey, shaped by relationships, community, and a strong sense of purpose. Everything we do is focused on helping each child flourish.

Our learning and teaching forms, informs and transforms.

We meet every child where they are and help them to reach their goals

In our Catholic schools we promote safe, supportive learning environments where students feel known, valued and connected. Our students experience learning as belonging. This fits with the mission of Catholic education where our schools are called upon to “foster love for wisdom and truth, and integrate faith, culture and life”.

Our dedicated teachers get to know your child well through regular check-ins on their progress. Learning experiences are planned around student learning goals and ensuring that every student is offered appropriate and relevant support, as well as enrichment opportunities. At the heart of our schools is a commitment to overall student wellbeing, because we know that when students feel safe and supported they thrive.

Igniting interests and nurturing talents

We believe it is important for children to pursue interests and find hobbies they are passionate about outside the classroom of school, and our schools give students exposure to a range of exciting activities.

Learners can choose from more traditional choices such as choir, debating and chess club to contemporary options like lego robotics, band and astronomy, there’s something for everyone!
