I offer you a warm welcome to

I extend a very warm welcome to you and your family. At Tenison Woods Catholic School, we are called to inspire, innovate and excel.

Living out the charisms of Fr Julian Tenison Woods and Australia's first saint, St Mary Mackillop, we are inspired by Jesus, we are a community of learners, committed to quality outcomes in authentic relationships, seeking goodness and fullness of life. We are guided by "In omnibus caritas" - In all things Love.

We offer extensive educational and co-educational programs to ensure your child is given a variety of opportunities to flourish.

Positive Education underpins our approach to individual and community wellbeing. Children are engaged from Reception to Year 6 in developing the strategies and dispositions necessary for them to be thriving people, capable learners, leaders for the world God desires.

We pride ourselves on ensuring all children have access to evidence-based teaching and learning practices across all learning areas. A recent significant investment in your child’s learning has resulted in a range of extensive support programs being implemented. In addition to exceptional classroom support, children have access to support programs such as:
 
- MiniLit and PreLit literacy programs

- Language Lab – a dedicated support program for children with English as an additional language

Enrolling at Tenison Woods Catholic School enters you into a Catholic educational pathway where children will graduate from a number of excellent local Catholic secondary schools.

The recent expansion of the physical environment at Tenison Woods means that your child will be immersed in 21st Century learning spaces, natural and expansive play spaces, as well as access to the latest in Digital Technologies. Through our ongoing commitment to excellence, your child will receive the highest quality primary education.

I look forward to meeting you and your family.
