St Lucy's Principal David Raphael, Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Executive General Manager Student Support Dianne Van Berlo and St Angela's Principal Leanne Nettleton.
Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese has entered into a 2 year partnership to offer an on-site class at St Angela's Primary School Castle Hill dedicated to students with disabilities.
The new class will be delivered through a partnership with St Lucy's School, Wahroonga, a leading Catholic school for students with disability.
St Angela’s is part of Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD), 80 great local schools across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains. This pilot initiative underscores CSPD’s commitment to inclusive Catholic education and ensuring all students can thrive within a supportive community environment. It reflects the shared commitment within the Catholic education sector to enhance educational opportunities and leverage the specialised expertise of institutions like St Lucy's to meet the needs of local families.

"This partnership with St Lucy's is a true reflection of our mission to share the gift of Catholic education with all members of our community," said Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese CEO Jack de Groot. "By bringing this specialised, high-quality program onsite at St Angela’s Primary, we are strengthening our commitment to inclusion and providing a nurturing environment where all students can reach their full potential."
“St Lucy’s is thrilled to be bringing our mission to St Angela’s and to provide outstanding education for students who have special education needs,” said David Raphael (Principal), “We have a long history of successful and meaningful satellite programs, and we are looking forward to this new collaboration with St Angela’s and the CSPD”.
"For St Angela’s students, staff and families, this will be a wonderful partnership and opportunity to learn alongside and support children with diverse learning needs,” St Angela’s Primary Principal Leanne Nettleton said. “It will build on the spirit of welcome and inclusion that is so much a part of our school.”
The playground at St Angela's has recently been refurbished.
Serving students from Kindergarten to Year 4, St Lucy’s satellite class students will gain the benefits of specialised education within their dedicated learning space, alongside the welcoming experience of a mainstream school setting.
