Choosing the right education for your child is one of the most significant decisions you’ll ever make.
As parents, carers, or grandparents, you have both the choice—and the right—to provide your child with the highest quality education available.
The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle is proud to offer some of the best schools across Newcastle, Maitland, the Hunter and Upper Hunter, Lake Macquarie, and Manning regions.
Catholic schools deliver a distinctive educational experience, nurturing children and young people to grow as individuals of integrity, compassion, faith, and wisdom. Working closely with local parishes, Catholic schools help students make sense of their world, exercise sound judgement, and appreciate the uniqueness of others within a supportive faith community.
Each school is a collaborative environment, where teachers, parents, carers, P&F committees, clergy, parishioners, and support staff unite to focus on student development. Catholic schools do more than teach religious studies—they inspire growth in spirit, mind, body, and character, cultivating Gospel values that shape lives of joy, perseverance, and hope for the future.
At St Catherine’s, we are dedicated to each child’s unique potential, offering a rich range of educational, creative, sporting, and formation opportunities that encourage well-rounded growth.
Choosing a Catholic school brings parents peace of mind, knowing they’ve made a meaningful investment in their child’s future. With the extensive opportunities and supportive environment, we believe that a Catholic education is truly the right choice.
