Our College

Our College

St Benedict’s is a Catholic, systemic co-educational College growing to 975 students in Years 7-12 in 2022. 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, and in 2021, our new school hall was completed.

The College takes its inspiration from St. Benedict of Nursia, the patron saint of students and the father of western monasticism. Set in a semi-rural environment on 8ha, the College offers a range of subjects from Stages 4-6 and extra curricula activities including sporting and cultural representative pathways through the Diocese of Wollongong and the Macarthur Independent Schools Association (MISA).

In the Benedictine tradition, we aim to develop a love of learning and a love of God in a pastorally caring environment where “the strong have something to strive for and the poor have nothing to run from Benedictine education sets its sights on the transformation of the human mind and heart. Benedictine education stresses the formation of the whole person rather than the intellect alone.
