We look forward to welcoming you to our school community at St Thomas Catholic Primary School.
Catholic Schools Broken Bay has designed our enrolment process to work hand-in-hand with parents to ensure the best outcome for their child.
The process aims to give you opportunities to share your goals for your child as they commence their school journey with us.
It also allows us to share with you the many wonderful aspects of our school and how they will suit the individual needs of each child. Through open and transparent discussion, we are committed to working together to ensure a quality Catholic education for your child.
