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.
Recent Announcement
The two schools of the Parish of Lower North Shore, St Philip Neri Catholic Primary School, Northbridge, and St Thomas Catholic Primary School, Willoughby, will come together as one primary school community on the St Thomas site.
From the beginning of the 2026 school year, the two schools of the Parish of Lower North Shore, St Philip Neri Catholic Primary School, Northbridge, and St Thomas Catholic Primary School, Willoughby, will come together as one primary school community on the St Thomas site. We plan to build on the unique strengths of both schools and ensure a thriving future for Catholic education on the Lower North Shore.
Every current student at St Philip Neri, including those enrolled for Kindergarten 2026, will be warmly welcomed at St Thomas.
A holistic education pathway
This transformation allows us to create a more holistic and future-focused pathway for Catholic education in the Northbridge and Willoughby area. By combining the strengths of both schools, and by establishing an inclusive education hub at Northbridge, we will be able to:
- Support all learners from their earliest years
- Provide dedicated support for children with additional needs
- Ensure that every child has access to modern, faith-filled facilities and programs designed for their success.
