It is with great excitement that I welcome you to Siena Catholic College, a new co-educational K-12 Catholic College on Sydney’s North Shore that will serve families from January 2027. Siena Catholic College will bring together the two Catholic Primary Schools, Sacred Heart, Pymble and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, West Pymble, to create a united community and seamless learning journey from the early years through to senior secondary. Students in Kindergarten to Year 4 will be located at the Junior Campus in West Pymble, while those in Years 5 to 12 will be based at the Senior Campus in Pymble. For families across the North Shore, this marks both continuity and renewal, honouring the rich histories of both schools while responding to the evolving needs of future generations.
At Siena Catholic College, our committed staff will deliver an outstanding Catholic education that inspires academic excellence, nurtures faith and supports student wellbeing. Siena will be a place where every student is known, valued, and supported to reach their full potential. Learning will be rigorous and future-focused, grounded in strong relationships, high expectations, and a belief that education is both a privilege and a responsibility.
The opening of Siena Catholic College in January 2027 will mark the beginning of an important and special shared journey.
Together, families and staff will shape a college characterised by academic achievement, service to others, and hope for the future. I warmly invite prospective families to become part of the Siena Catholic College community.
