The school is administered by the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Parramatta [1] and serves the greater Hawkesbury region and the parishes of St Matthew's, Windsor and Richmond. The school opened in 1986 with 110 pupils and a staff of nine.
The school's patron is John Bede Polding, the inaugural Catholic bishop of Sydney in the Colony of New South Wales.
The college was subject to a devastating fire in late 2003 that resulted in extensive damage to the administration building and teacher study areas. [2] [3] [4]
