All Saints Catholic College

Why choose All Saints?

All Saints Catholic College students live a journey at One School across a Dual Campus as One Community. They experience alignment of their entire learning journey from K–12 in a contemporary school climate. We place great importance on the development of the whole person: spiritually, academically, socially and physically.

Students have access to specialised programs and the opportunity to learn in a safe, nurturing environment underpinned by gospel values. Our students are challenged within a dynamic and innovative curriculum to become independent thinkers willing to take risks and become lifelong learners.

Principal’s Message

As principal of All Saints Catholic College, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school’s website. We are delighted to have the opportunity to introduce you to our school and share our ethos, story and aspirations with you.

In 2020, the school and parish embark on a new model of schooling that will signal a new dawn for education. Our All Saints campuses will be the first fully operational Catholic systemic K–12 school in the Archdiocese of Sydney, operating across the two sites of Liverpool and Casula. Our endeavor is built upon the shoulders of the clergy, religious orders and parish community that have come before us.

As students traverse the full schooling journey, they will experience an alignment of the learning continuum across the full K–12 divide. In short, our unified All Saints community are pioneers operating as one school across a dual campus.

At All Saints students are offered a wealth of experiences; this website showcases many of these opportunities. We are justly proud of our school, students and teachers, support staff, parents and carers and the wider parish community, all of whom cooperate to create a college community that is noted for its inclusiveness and care.

I am privileged to lead such a wonderful school and welcome you to our college. I look forward to having the opportunity to meet with you.

Mr Daniel McInerney

Executive Principal K–12

Our History and Charism

Charism

All Saints Catholic College is founded on the charisms of the Sisters of Charity and the Patrician Brothers, and it is these values that will continue to inspire our new learning community. We honour our Catholic faith and put into practice our school motto ‘Inspired by Christ’. In this period of exciting change, and to celebrate the coming together of three school communities into one, we will reflect on the words of Saint John Paul II:

“Remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to look forward to the future with confidence”. (2001)
