St Clare's Catholic Primary School is part of the Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong and proudly serves the parish of St Paul's Camden. Located in the heart of Narellan Vale, approximately one hour south-west of Sydney, our school is a vibrant, faith-filled community dedicated to nurturing the spiritual and academic growth of every student.
As a co-educational primary school, St Clare's is committed to helping students discover meaning and purpose through a deepening of faith and a focus on academic excellence. We equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Our inclusive and supportive environment fosters positive relationships and a lifelong love of learning.
We ensure every student is provided with a contemporary, personalised learning program that will equip them with the knowledge and skills for a changing world. Our students build positive relationships and develop their learning capacity in an inclusive, supportive environment that encourages a lifelong love of learning.
In 2024, St Clare's began an exciting phase of expansion, transitioning from a three-stream to a four-stream school. We anticipate reaching full four-stream capacity across all year levels by 2030. Our growing community now includes 650 students and 55 dedicated staff members, supported by modern attractive, and well-resourced facilities.
Since opening in 1994 with a single classroom and administration block, St Clare's has continually evolved to meet the needs of our expanding student population. Key developments include:
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that construction of the new St Clare's Church will begin in 2026, located on the grassed area at the front of the school. This new church will further strengthen our spiritual foundation and connection to the parish.
