Catherine McAuley Westmead

"I am very grateful to the Principal and teachers that spend countless hours to ensure my daughters gets a good quality education, a safe environment and ensures that she stays positive and respectful at all times. They nurture and teach our children to give back to the community. The school offers a great atmosphere with various opportunities for our girls to learn and grow. The school values the constructive opinions and feedback of all parents. Thankyou Catherine McAuley staff for a job well done and teaching my daughter life skills to survive in the real world which is priceless!!!"

"Where do I even begin with the "experience" that is this school? It was truly something to remember. I must say, I was utterly impressed with the level of incompetence displayed throughout. It's almost inspiring how everything managed to be so spectacularly terrible. I can only assume that precision and accuracy are mere concepts that elude the teachers responsible for this mess. Bravo, really. And let's not forget the impeccable timing of it all. It's like they have a secret agenda to inconvenience every single student. It takes a special kind of skill to consistently make the wrong choices at every turn leading to the mental anguish these students face. But hey, at least they were consistent in one thing: their ability to disappoint. I have to admit, I was almost impressed by their dedication to mediocrity. Truly a lovely School. "

"We love this school, the teachers and staff are very supportive, kind, and caring and the school provides comprehensive education in the Mercy tradition. The Principal does a fantastic task of running the school. Our girls attended this school, and we are very proud that they attend Catherine McAuley. The school offers many opportunities, such as academic- programs with Western Sydney University, STEM, World Youth Day, various sports, VET courses, and clubs. We love the community that Catherine McAuley provides, inclusion for all, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We like the fact that the young ladies are dressed appropriately as per school policy. The girls are respectful and polite. I see girls from Catherine McAuley offer their seats on trains for others. My husband and I highly recommend Catherine McAuley to any family that wants a school that provides a Catholic education, a safe, caring, and welcoming atmosphere, cares for and supports young ladies, choices in a variety of subjects that not all schools offer, and empowers and encourages young ladies to choose their career paths for the future."

"This school is revolting. So many of the teachers aren't actually teaching the kids, they're simply laughing with my daughter which is sometimes good but my daughter has come home multiple times telling me how her teachers have not taught her anything. The school says that they focus on 'mercy values' but they do nothing of the sort. They only focus on uniform instead of what they're actually teaching the kids. The teachers all trauma dump about their own lives and humiliate children in front of entire classes. They are only rewarded if they do perfect in a calss."
