Why Choose a Catholic School?

Choosing a Catholic school means investing in a rich, values-based education that supports your child's success and wellbeing - spiritually, academically, and socially.

A Welcoming and Inclusive Environment  

Catholic schools provide a safe, caring space for children and young people where every child’s wellbeing, achievement, and creativity are nurtured. They foster an environment of respect and community, making students feel valued and supported.

Faith, Learning, and Life  

Our schools integrate faith into daily life, with religious education, prayer, and sacraments at the heart of the community. Students are encouraged to grow in faith, participate in community service, and work towards social justice.

Partnership with Families  

We believe parents and guardians are essential partners in education. Working together, schools and families create a strong, open, and respectful learning environment that promotes effective communication and shared goals.

Research shows life-long benefits of a Catholic Education 

Recent research shows that Catholic school students often experience better employment opportunities, higher wages (4-11% higher on average), improved health, and greater life satisfaction. Attending a Catholic school also encourages community involvement and philanthropy.

The Research by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University uses the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey data. You can view or download the Report findings here.
