Every child is different and so is his or her learning journey
Our approach to learning puts the growth of each individual child at the heart of schooling. Schools in the Diocese of Parramatta are places of wonder, exploration and endless possibilities. St Thomas Aquinas welcomes and truly values each student in our diverse and multicultural learning community.
Each child’s unique strengths and needs guide the design of the learning opportunities we provide to our students.
After all, learning how to learn is equally important as what we learn!
Inspired learning starts with highly motivated and professional teachers
Like you, we know that great teachers make a real difference in a child’s life. Our teachers are lifelong learners too and regularly undertake professional development to keep up to date with current best practice in education. Our expert teachers will tailor teaching to meet your child at their point of need, track how they are progressing, and respond with extra support when needed.
Our learning journey
The Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Learning Journey honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the workplaces of the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to work collaboratively.
St Thomas Aquinas provides a rigorous, balanced and relevant curriculum, focused on the unique needs of each child.

School Library
Our library is a focal point of the school – a centre of school resources. The library is instrumental in effectively supporting our learning environment and is also an important centre of technology. Students also have access to the eLibrary - the digital gateway to a range of quality online resources that encourage and enhance reading and support inquiry learning.

ASPECT Satellite Class
St Thomas Aquinas Primary is a host school for one of eleven satellite classes supported from the Western Sydney School for children with Autism. As the host school, we work in partnership with ASPECT by providing integration involving spiritual, social, academic and sporting opportunities. We offer an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students.
The class is a primary class for children aged from five to twelve years and is supported by a teacher and teacher's aides. Integration is accommodated in the mainstream classroom, with the assistance of an aide, with a view to independent integration where possible. Students are included in mainstream school life as often as possible, participating in whole school activities, playground activities, assemblies and some excursions.
If you are interested in enrolling your child in the ASPECT class, contact ASPECT Western Sydney School, Wetherill Park on 8786 3000, or via email at westsyd@autismspectrum.org.au

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education
Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) recognises and respects the heritage, spirituality, cultures and deep connection to Country of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
An understanding of Aboriginal spirituality is incorporated into Religious Education programs, prayer and liturgy. A number of our schools have dedicated yarning spaces, cultural groups and inclusive Aboriginal Cultural Programs. Working closely with Catholic Schools NSW and all CSPD staff, our Jarara Cultural Centre is an integral part of how we share culture, build capacity and provide pastoral care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families.
