Learning at St Columba’s
St Columba’s is a place where curiosity, imagination and love of learning thrive through working together to provide the most effective, engaging and challenging learning experiences for students.
As one of the 80 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta, we’re working together to transform learning for students in Greater Western Sydney. This means reimagining and refreshing learning and teaching for today’s world and today’s learners.
The purpose and promise of a Catholic education is to inspire each learner - student, teacher and family - to discover a meaningful and flourishing life.
Our faith journey
St Columba’s is a great place for students to grow in faith and learning. We value each student as an individual and share the values of the Gospel to help them discover the hope that is within and to experience a meaningful and flourishing life.
As a community, we celebrate with a sense of the sacredness of people, time and space. Liturgy and prayer are integral to school life as students deepen their personal faith and celebrate important moments as a community.Our faith journey
Beyond the classroom
We believe it is important for students to pursue interests to find what they are passionate about. Our school gives them exposure to a range of exciting opportunities to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or follow a passion.
Be it raising alpacas or mastering an instrument, St Columba’s is a place where every student shines.
Sport
Sport is a valued part of a school’s curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child by providing a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning. Participation, enjoyment and skill development are the cornerstones of school sport. Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocesan Secondary Schools Sports Council.
Extensive opportunities to participate in sports include:
- Touch football
- Netball
- Rugby League
- Soccer
- Cricket
- Basketball
- Gymnastics
