Every child is different and so is his or her learning journey
Our approach to learning puts the growth of each individual child at the heart of schooling. Schools in the Diocese of Parramatta are places of wonder, exploration and endless possibilities. Nagle welcomes and truly values each student in our diverse and multicultural learning community.
Each child’s unique strengths and needs guide the design of the learning opportunities we provide to our students.
After all, learning how to learn is equally important as what we learn!
Extension opportunities for Gifted and Talented students
Our Lumen English and Lumen Mathematics classes are specifically designed for students who have shown exceptional literacy and numeracy skills. Students are selected based on NAPLAN results, past school reports and assessment at school. The classes are flexible allowing students to move into the class as necessary. We provide a stimulating environment where high-achieving students can thrive, offering challenging learning activities that push boundaries and encourage deeper exploration.
With a focus on extension work, students will be empowered to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative skills that will prepare them for success in future academic endeavors. Lumen classes offer an opportunity to foster a love for learning and ensure that gifted students are engaged and inspired to reach their full potential.
The first Lumen English class has launched for Year 7 2025, with Year 7 Mathematics expected to launch in Semester 2 of 2025. Plans to extend this offering grades 8-10 are underway.

Why ‘Lumen’?
Drawing on the College’s Presentation charism, we seek to follow the example of Nano Nagle, ‘the Lady of the Lantern’ who used her gifts to bring light to the poor. Students are encouraged to ‘let their light shine’ by using their own gifts and talents to achieve excellence and make a difference in their community.
Inspired learning starts with highly motivated and professional teachers
Like you, we know that great teachers make a real difference in a child’s life. Our teachers are lifelong learners too and regularly undertake professional development to keep up to date with current best practice in education. Our expert teachers will tailor teaching to meet your child at their point of need, track how they are progressing, and respond with extra support when needed.

Our Learning Journey
The Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Learning Journey honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the workplaces of the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to work collaboratively.

Our library is a place of exploration and inquiry. Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learning capabilities that thrive on curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education
Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) recognises and respects the heritage, spirituality, cultures and deep connection to Country of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
An understanding of Aboriginal spirituality is incorporated into Religious Education programs, prayer and liturgy. A number of our schools have dedicated yarning spaces, cultural groups and inclusive Aboriginal Cultural Programs. Working closely with Catholic Schools NSW and all CSPD staff, our Jarara Cultural Centre is an integral part of how we share culture, build capacity and provide pastoral care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families.

Endless Possibilities with Learning Partners

As part of a system of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Parramatta Diocese, we also benefit from formal agreements with many institutions that form a wide network of strategic relationships and collaborations to advance research, teaching and innovation in Catholic schools across Greater Western Sydney.
