St Agnes Catholic High School

What St Agnes Catholic High School does

St Agnes Catholic High School is a co-educational Year 7 to 12 Catholic secondary school located in Rooty Hill, Western Sydney, Australia, serving approximately 865 students from the greater Mount Druitt area. Founded in 1962 by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary as St Agnes' College, the school transitioned through Sydney Diocesan care in 1976, multi-campus incorporation with Christ Catholic College from 1999 to 2004, and independent operation under the Diocese of Parramatta from 2004 onward. It expanded to enrol Years 11 and 12 in 2019, graduating its first Higher School Certificate (HSC) cohort in 2020. The school is operated by Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) Ltd, part of a network of 80 Catholic schools serving more than 46,000 students across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

The school's product offering centres on a faith-based secondary education delivered through a student-centred curriculum, the Encountering Jesus Religious Education program, VET courses across seven disciplines, and the School of Now hybrid learning program for senior students. The technology environment is built around an Apple-exclusive BYOD program requiring MacBooks in Years 10-12, with Apple TV projection infrastructure throughout the campus. Operational platforms include the Compass Parent Portal for parent engagement and administration, the Fr Norman Grady Library and SirsiDynix eLibrary for research resources, and an award-winning Careers Portal for post-school pathway information. Support services include a Family School Liaison Officer, Homework Club, Jarara Cultural Centre Indigenous support, and learning support programs. University pathway partnerships with ANU, Macquarie University, and Western Sydney University provide students with access to workshops, Open Days, and early entry schemes. A new Creative Hub building completed in 2024 houses dedicated technology, applied sciences, and visual arts facilities.

Revenue is generated primarily through school fees billed in three instalments across Terms 1, 2, and 3, comprising Diocesan Tuition Fees (varying by year level and sibling position), a per-family Diocesan Building Levy ($945), and school-based Resource and Activity Fees. Year 7 first-child total fees are A$4,938, scaling up to A$5,880 for Year 11 first-child, with significant sibling discounts (2nd child ~68% of first, 3rd child ~55%, 4th and subsequent children free). Financial assistance and Centrelink-eligible fee relief are available for hardship cases. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the school's website enrolment portal, in-person school tours and Open Days (main enrolment window March-May), social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and the Compass Parent Portal app. Uniforms are distributed through third-party supplier The School Locker at Blacktown Mega Centre.
