Guided by the charisms of Fr Julian Tenison Woods and St Mary MacKillop, and inspired by Jesus, we create a school where love is the heart of everything we do. "In omnibus caritas" – In all things love.
At Tenison Woods Catholic School, every child matters, absolutely. We are deeply committed to nurturing the whole child — academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually — so they can flourish in every aspect of life.
Our teaching is grounded in evidence-based practices and supported by Positive Education, helping students build resilience, confidence and a growth mindset. We believe strong wellbeing and strong learning go hand in hand.
We also offer a range of targeted support programs to meet the needs of every learner, including:
These programs complement our high-quality classroom teaching and a strong culture of care that flows through every part of school life.
In recent years, we have invested significantly in creating modern, flexible learning spaces and expansive outdoor areas.
Our facilities are designed to support contemporary, child-led learning — giving students the opportunity to explore, collaborate and thrive.
Choosing Tenison Woods Catholic School connects your child to a broader Catholic education pathway, with strong links to excellent local Catholic secondary schools that continue the journey we begin together.
I look forward to welcoming your family and walking alongside you as we help your child grow with kindness, courage and confidence.
Warm regards,
Ben Catalano
Principal
