Mother Teresa Primary School

What Mother Teresa Primary School does

Mother Teresa Primary School is a Catholic coeducational primary school serving Kindergarten through Year 6 in Westmead, New South Wales, Australia. Opened in 2012 on a shared campus at Darcy Road alongside Catherine McAuley and Parramatta Marist High secondary schools, it was founded to meet growing demand for affordable Catholic education in Western Sydney and reached full K-6 capacity in 2014. The school is owned and operated by Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Ltd (CSPD), a system of 80 Catholic schools educating more than 46,000 students across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

The school's core offering is a NESA-approved curriculum covering English, Mathematics, Science and Technology, HSIE, PDHPE, Creative Arts, and Japanese, augmented by the CSPD-wide "Encountering Jesus" Religious Education framework delivered daily. Supporting technology includes the eLibrary digital platform (SirsiDynix) for e-books, audiobooks, videos and bilingual resources, and the Compass web-based student management and parent communication portal. Supplementary programs include the CAPTIVATE Strings program for Years 3-4, on-site before and after school care delivered by Ambrose Early Years Learning and School Age Care, and overnight camps including Year 6's Vinnies Winter Sleep Out.

Revenue derives from three recurring streams set or administered by CSPD: Diocesan Tuition Fees, a per-family Diocesan Building Levy, and school-set Resource and Activity Fees billed across Terms 1-3. Sibling discounts are steep, with fourth and subsequent children attending tuition-free. Annual fees range from approximately $2,835 (Kindergarten, first child) to $3,579 (Year 6, first child). Lead Principal Julianne Regan oversees both Mother Teresa Primary and Sacred Heart Primary ahead of their Term 3 2026 merger into Sacred Heart Primary Westmead on the Darcy Road campus.

Broad incumbents

• NSW Department of Education: Operator of NSW public primary schools that compete directly for the same Westmead catchment families via free, secular K-6 education; relevant as the primary alternative choice for price-sensitive and non-religious families in the school's core market.
• Sydney Catholic Schools: The Sydney Archdiocese's systemic operator of 150+ Catholic primary and secondary schools; competes for the same Sydney-wide Catholic-primary enrolment pool and shares comparable curriculum, Compass-style systems, and fee structures, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Regional players

• Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS): Victoria's systemic Catholic primary and secondary school operator running ~300 schools under a similar diocesan funding and curriculum model; comparable as an Australian Catholic systemic school operator but serving a different state catchment.
• Brisbane Catholic Education: Queensland's systemic Catholic primary and secondary school operator; runs ~140 schools under a comparable diocesan model with shared curriculum, fee, and enrolment structures, providing a useful regional benchmark for Catholic primary operating economics.

Direct peers

• Parramatta Marist High School: Catholic secondary school co-located on the Darcy Road Westmead campus that serves as the natural feeder for Mother Teresa Primary graduates. Comparable as a faith-based CSPD school sharing the same site, parent community, and facility footprint.
• Sacred Heart Primary School (Ralph Street, Westmead): The other half of the announced Term 3 2026 merger with Mother Teresa Primary; a co-located CSPD K-6 Catholic primary school in Westmead serving the same Western Sydney catchment with the same Encountering Jesus religious curriculum and Compass/eLibrary stack.
• Catherine McAuley Catholic Primary School Westmead: Catholic K-6 primary school sharing the Darcy Road campus with Mother Teresa Primary and Parramatta Marist High, part of CSPD. Directly comparable in curriculum, faith framework, fee structure, and enrolment process.
• St Patrick's Primary School Guildford: Nearby CSPD Catholic primary school referenced in Mother Teresa's own school news; offers a directly comparable Catholic K-6 education in the same Parramatta Diocese system with the same Encountering Jesus curriculum and Compass platform.
