Introduction

At St Cecilia’s Catholic Primary School we pride ourselves in providing a quality education that allows each individual student to achieve their personal best.

Our school follows the NSW Board of Studies Curriculum in the Key Learning Areas and the Diocese of Broken Bay Curriculum (K-12) for Religious Education. However, from 2014 the NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum will be implemented and changes will be made where necessary.

St Cecilia’s Catholic Primary School provides a balanced curriculum approved by the NSW Board of Studies Syllabus and complies with all Diocesan, NSW and National standards in regards to timetabling, assessment and reporting. We are supported by the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Broken Bay which exists to educate and form young people in Catholic Discipleship offering the experiences of following Jesus as members of Catholic community.
