Every day, I meet families who share the same hope—that their child with a disability will be
truly seen, supported, and given every opportunity to thrive. Families who want their children
to learn in a place where they are accepted, respected, and where they feel a real sense of
belonging.
At Eileen O’Connor Catholic School, we are building that place together. A brand NEW school
on the Central Coast of NSW.
Eileen O’Connor Catholic School is a key part of Archbishop Anthony Randazzo’s bold and
inclusive vision for Catholic education across our Diocese. We are creating a connected and
supportive learning pathway for students with a disability from Kindergarten to Year 12, with
specialist facilities and a vibrant precinct that fosters meaningful connection with our
mainstream Catholic schools.
This is about ensuring every child has the opportunity to shine and that families have
increased school choices.
Our journey continues to grow. With increasing enrolments across our campuses on the
Northern Beaches, North Shore and Central Coast, we are seeing firsthand the importance of
providing environments with small class sizes, expert staff, and a strong sense of belonging.
Our connected school community is our response to this need—and together, we are making a
difference.
How You Can Help
The new Tuggerah campus remains a vital part of our vision—a $65 million project, made
possible through a partnership between Catholic Schools Broken Bay, government support,
and the generosity of our community and corporate partners.
This May, we invite our families and wider community to continue to build awareness and
support this important initiative. Whether through tax-deductible donations, local
fundraising efforts, or simply sharing our story, every action helps.
Our school proudly carries the name of Eileen O’Connor—a woman of deep faith and great
intellect whose life was devoted to serving the poor and marginalised. Her legacy continues to
inspire everything we do.
Together, let’s build a school! To learn more or support us please visit our school website
