The Catholic Education difference

Schools where you are welcomed

A lasting network of support is nurtured through strong peer support and a focus on wellbeing and pastoral care. Our school communities feel like families.

Passionate educators who care

Our teachers are more than educators - they are mentors, supporters, and champions of potential. Our highly skilled teachers are also lifelong learners, engaging in regular professional development.

Excellence in learning and teaching

Our schools have a shared approach to learning based on the latest research, evidence and best practice. This ensures every child has the best opportunity to grow, succeed, and feel supported.

A culture of respect and understanding

Catholic schools welcome students of all backgrounds and beliefs and nurture every learner with compassion and care. Justice, love and mercy are the basis of our faith learning.

Quality schooling that is affordable and inclusive

Our commitment to accessibility ensures that affordable fees, scholarships, and fee support options help every family feel they truly belong.

As a guide, the cost of a Catholic education is around $8-$9 a day for primary and $16-$18 a day for a child in Year 7*. Significant discounts apply for siblings and flexible payment plans are available.

No child will be refused enrolment from a Catholic school because of a family's inability to pay school fees.
