Catholic education in the Diocese of Parramatta

Built and staffed without government financial assistance, the schools served Catholic communities in Blacktown, East Granville, Guildford, Katoomba and Castle Hill.

An ambitious school building program was successfully pursued to cater for new families in many developing areas, including Lalor Park, Seven Hills, Westmead and Kingswood.

These served numerous parishes, including Winston Hills, North Rocks, Kenthurst, Cranebrook and St Clair.

Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv DD STL is the third Bishop of Parramatta.

Special consideration may be given to children of non-Catholic families for a number of reasons, after discussion with the school principal.
