Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese: Located in the heart of Western Sydney and in one of the fastest growing areas of New South Wales, the Diocese of Parramatta comprises 80 vibrant and dynamic school communities that stretch from Dundas Valley, north to Richmond, west to Katoomba and south to Luddenham. There are 58 primary schools and 24 secondary schools and two trade pathway campuses supporting approximately 45,000 students and almost 5,000 staff. Parish priests, principals and school communities work together to provide faith-filled, radically inclusive and caring environments that allow young people to grow in their faith and better understand the mission of the Church. This is achieved through religious education, faith formation, liturgical celebrations, sacramental programs, pastoral care and support. Under the pastoral leadership of the Bishop of Parramatta, the Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv DD, students and staff are encouraged to reach out to those most in need.
