St. Philip Neri Catholic School established in 1926 is a single stream primary school for boys and girls located in Northbridge on Sydney’s lower North Shore. It is the most southern school in the Diocese of Broken Bay. The majority of students reside within the local area. As the school has grown, so has the need to provide quality facilities for the children. In 2010 as a result of the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution stimulus funding we have constructed a new multi-purpose room, Kindergarten classroom and library. The school has a fine reputation in the wider community. It is known for providing students with a rich, relevant and varied curriculum, a dedicated staff, a nurturing environment and an authentic Catholic community which is striving to live out its school motto: “Loving in Deeds, Not Just in Words”. The School Community’s main priority is to ensure a quality teaching Catholic environment exists that meets the needs of each child. We aim to provide the best education for our students via the processes of shared understanding, consistency, clarity and professional learning. St Philip Neri works in partnership with all stakeholders in the whole school community. Our Strategic Management Plan carves out our future direction. It is comprehensive, authentic and forward thinking which provides the following: A differentiated curriculum that supports and best addresses all students’ individual learning needs A program to educate children about becoming resilient individuals Integration of Technology across all areas of the Curriculum Professional Learning in the areas of Literacy, Numeracy and Leadership Parent workshops/discussion groups regarding all aspects of school life. St. Philip Neri is a school that journeys together to meet future challenges and to ensure the sustainability and ongoing development of a quality teaching and learning facility in the 21st century.
