Catholic Schools in NSW/ACT
| Catholic schools enrol about 20 per cent of Australian school students. There are 613 Catholic Primary and Secondary schools across NSW and the ACT, providing quality education in a faith-centred environment. |
Catholic schools teach the same curriculum as government schools. Expectations of achievement and conduct are high. With a strong focus on the individual, a broad curriculum caters for a wide range of interests and abilities.
Catholic schools offer highly qualified and professional teachers who cater to the diverse learning needs of our students. Most teachers in our schools are four-year trained and many have post-graduate qualifications.
Catholic Schools Week 2009 will be held from 22 March - 28 March 2009 and is the perfect opportunity to visit your local Catholic school and find out what they have to offer.
