LEARNING AT ST CANICE'S
St Canice's is a place where curiosity, imagination and love of learning thrive through working together to provide the most effective, engaging and challenging learning experiences for students.
As a Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta school, we’re working together to transform learning for students in Greater Western Sydney. This means reimagining and refreshing learning and teaching for today’s world and today’s learners.
The purpose and promise of a Catholic education is to inspire each learner - student, teacher and family - to discover a meaningful and flourishing life.
OUR FAITH JOURNEY
The teaching of Religious Education is central to all schools in the Diocese who share in the mission of the Church to share the story and vision of Jesus Christ through a daily personal encounter with Him. This personal encounter is reflected in the school’s liturgical and prayer life, sacramental preparation, attendance at parish masses, visits by the parish priest, pastoral care programs, social justice initiatives, music and art.
OUR FAITH JOURNEY
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Our co-curricular programs aim to further develop and inspire students' skills, talents interests and passions. From music and art, to public speaking and sport, we have a range of activities for our students to participate in.
SPORT
Sport is a valued part of a school’s curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child by providing a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning. Participation, enjoyment and skill development are the cornerstones of school sport. Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocese Catholic Primary School Sports Council and/or the Parramatta Diocese Secondary Schools Sports Council.
