McAuley Catholic Primary School Rose Bay continues to set a high standard for what a Catholic education can offer, combining academic rigour with a deep commitment to faith and pastoral care.

The latest NAPLAN 2024 results show strong performance in literacy and numeracy, reflecting the school’s personalised learning approach that empowers students to thrive not only academically, but also in character and purpose.

Principal Nicole Jones said the success is the result of a shared vision and a consistent focus on student learning and wellbeing, all grounded in Catholic values.

“Our teachers are deeply committed to each child’s learning journey,” she said. “We work together to create an environment where students are challenged, supported and encouraged to achieve their best – not just academically, but as kind, capable and resilient people.”

McAuley Catholic Primary School is part of the Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) network, which educates almost 75,000 students across 147 primary and secondary schools.

A system-wide emphasis on professional development, evidence-based practice and faith underpins the school’s continued success.

In a recent independent analysis by Better Education, McAuley Catholic Primary School Rose Bay, was ranked an impressive number 30 among Sydney’s Top 100 Primary Schools for 2025.

While SCS recognises that rankings are not the sole measure of school success, they reflect the high standards being achieved at McAuley and across the Sydney Archdiocese.
