St Benedict’s is a Catholic, systemic co-educational College growing to 950 students in Years 7-12 in 2019. After opening in 2011 and moving to its permanent home in 2013, these remain exciting times at the College with Stages 1-6 of our building programme now complete. An additional 18 classrooms opened in 2017 as well as the first Stage of our playing fields. Construction of our state of the art Performing Arts complex also began in 2017 and completed in 2019.

The College is located on 15 acres in the heart of the rapidly developing Catherine Field South Precinct in the new suburb of Catherine Park and adjacent to Australia’s newest Parish church, St Mary of the Cross McKillop and St Justin’s Catholic Primary School.

As a systemic Catholic High School, St Benedict’s College offers a comprehensive Board of Studies’ curriculum as well as offering a range of extra curricula activities to meet the varied needs of our students such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, Music tuition programmes and a range of co-curricula clubs.

We are a member of the Macarthur Independent Schools Association (MISA) for inter-school Tuesday sport and other cultural activities such as Debating and Public Speaking. There are representative sporting pathways for our students to Diocesan, State and National levels.

As a Catholic High School, St Benedict’s Catholic College strives to be an inclusive and pastorally caring place of learning where, in the words of St Benedict “the strong have something to strive for and the weak have nothing to run from”. Our Academic Care programme which involves each child’s learning strategies being monitored by a tutor, targets learning improvement and begins with its foundation, the understanding that a child’s learning is inextricably linked to their whole of life experiences.

As the College moves from its foundation years, the students continue to have a unique opportunity to develop many of the College’s structures and to craft the intellectual and cultural life of the College which will stand as part of the College for many years to come.

Whether you are a prospective parent seeking enrolment, a current family seeking information or a prospective staff member we welcome you and hope you enjoy browsing our website.
