As our campaign week comes to a close, we want to

As our campaign week comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who has liked, shared,
donated, or simply taken the time to learn about the vision for our new Eileen O’Connor

This is more than a school, it’s a place where every child can thrive, and your support is helping
to bring that vision to life.

Here is how you can still get involved:
• Make a donation every gift, big or small, brings us closer to opening day.
• Set up regular giving ongoing support helps us plan and grow.
• Sign up for updates stay connected to milestones and stories.
• Partner with us if you are a business or supporter, let's talk.
• Share our story awareness builds momentum. Spread the word.
The new $65 million Tuggerah campus is made possible by Catholic Schools Broken Bay,
government grants, and community champions like you.
Together, we’re building a school, and a future filled with opportunity, inclusion and hope.

Our community needs this school. 25% of school age

Our community needs this school. 25% of school aged students has a disability, with 7% of students requiring a substantial to extensive level of support in the classroom. CSBB is increasing the schooling choices for families with the opening of Eileen O’Connor Catholic School on the Central Coast.

A school that will provide individualised instruction, predictability, transition supports, and specialist trained staff to meet the needs of students requiring an extensive level of adjustment in response to a cognitive disability. Our community are asking us to respond to the need, to build a faith-filled school of welcome for students with a disability.

Every day, we meet families with the shared hope t

Every day, we meet families with the shared hope that their child with a disability will be seen, supported, and given every opportunity to thrive. Families who want their children to learn in a place where they are accepted, respected, and truly belong.

Why Are We Building This School?

Because children like Leo (pictured) deserve it. Leo first joined our community through a CatholicCare preschool. His parents were looking for a school where he would be supported academically and emotionally, in a space that honored his unique way of learning.
We are building Eileen O’Connor Catholic School, a purpose-built K–12 campus in Tuggerah, designed to provide specialist, faith-based education for students with moderate cognitive disability, autism and/or complex learning needs. This is more than a construction project. It’s a shared mission to create a school where every child is seen, known, and supported to thrive and be fully embraced and understood. Accepted for who they are and the great gifts they offer our community.

🌺ANZAC DAY 25th April

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

Lest we forget.
