Sydney Catholic Schools is celebrating 200 years of Catholic education in Australia in 2021.
For 100 years, our schools were run exclusively by the charity of the Catholic Church and the generosity of their local parish communities.
Rising populations fueled by the Baby Boom and post-WWII migration, prompted the government to reintroduce funding for Church schools during the late 1960’s as a way to cope with the unprecedented growth in student population.
Today, we have 150 schools across the Archdiocese ensuring families have access to a low-fee Catholic education which will provide their children with the skills and knowledge they will need for the jobs of the future.
