Overview

Between 1978 and 1985 years 11 and 12 (the most senior years) at the College were co-educational. With the establishment of McCarthy Catholic College, Emu Plains, however, the College returned to being an all-boys school. Currently, more than 1,100 students from across Greater Western Sydney attend the College.

In 2009, the school's captain was Joel Kelly, the DUX that year who received an ATAR of 99.485. In the school's 59th year, Ahmed Khan, the DUX for that year was announced as receiving an ATAR of 99.5. Year 8 students are now studying 2 languages: Italian and Japanese.[1]

The school's TAS Department is state-of-the-art with multiple 3D printers, woodwork and metalwork workshops. The school provides qualified tutors for students.
