Principal’s Welcome

Principal’s Welcome

Thank you for your interest in St Paul’s Catholic College, Manly. As specialists in inclusive secondary education, we understand the importance of finding the right school for your child.

St Paul’s is a safe and inclusive community that offers an authentic, professional Catholic education, delivered with care and compassion.  Our teaching staff are committed to knowing and understanding the learning needs of every student and ensuring that they experience success. We have high expectations of our students, backed up by strong support, and the clear and consistent boundaries that provide them with structure and room to grow.

Our students’ successes are wide ranging and built on a foundation of mutual respect, and self-discipline. We are proud to celebrate the success of all our students, from the field of academia to business, cultural  and sporting life, recognising and nurturing their individual gifts and passions.

As a Catholic faith community, we work to build relationships that are life-giving, based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.  The Gospel values of love, compassion, justice and forgiveness underpin our efforts to shape young people who will live lives of meaning and purpose, find future happiness and success in their own lives, but strive to bring the same to others. 

Thank you for considering St Paul’s for your child’s secondary school education. We look forward to meeting you, and to forging a strong and supportive partnership between school and home that will help your sons and daughters realise their full potential.
