Our Catholic schools offer something different—a holistic education that provides students with opportunities to grow in their faith, achieve their learning potential, and develop in all aspects of who they are.

Catholic schools provide a unique combination of education, character development, and spiritual growth. We foster a strong sense of community and provide an excellent academic foundation in an environment of faith, values, high expectations, and support.

One in five students across Australia attend a Catholic school. In the Diocese of Wollongong, we’re proud to have over 20,000 students enrolled across our community of Catholic schools, supported by more than 3,000 dedicated teachers and support staff.

Expectations and excellence

We believe every student is capable of learning, and we don’t shy away from setting high expectations for learning and behaviour. But the true value of a Catholic education is in the way our dedicated teachers and classroom support staff encourage students to meet those expectations and realise their potential.

Faith and values

We offer all students the opportunity to grow in their faith, understand the Catholic way of life, and develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our Catholic tradition inspires a high quality, values-based education that supports students to achieve their academic potential and develop their character as they learn the importance of treating all people with kindness and respect.

Affordable and accessible

We believe every parent deserves the opportunity to choose an education that’s right for their family. That’s why we keep our school fees low and offer flexible payment plans and discounts for families and siblings. Families experiencing genuine financial hardship may also be eligible for fee concessions.
