Our story

Established in 1859 by Archbishop Polding, St Monica's Primary is one of the earliest Catholic learning communities to be founded in New South Wales. St Monica is patron of mothers and womanhood. Her love of God and family is a love that we strive to live out in our school's Vision and Mission.

Over the years St Monica’s has seen many changes, with new buildings and upgrades to ensure our students receive a contemporary Catholic learning experience. More...


Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St Monica’s Primary where we have been delivering excellence in education for over 160 years. St Monica’s places student learning at the centre of all we do and we are dedicated to helping every child achieve. More...
