Principal’s Message
On behalf of the entire staff, I warmly welcome you to the website for All Saints Catholic College. Our All Saints campuses are the first fully operational Catholic systemic K–12 school in the Archdiocese of Sydney, operating across two sites; Liverpool and Casula.
Whether you are a current member of our school community or a new visitor, I invite you to explore the heart of our Catholic educational environment where faith, learning and community come together.
At All Saints Catholic College, we are committed to fostering a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where students from Kindergarten through Year 12 grow in their faith, develop academically and prepare to live out the values of the Gospel in all that they do. Our school is a place where every student is known, loved and respected and where they are encouraged to reach their full potential—spiritually, academically and personally.
As we walk with our students in their educational journey, we challenge them to embrace their individual gifts and talents and to use these to serve others. We aim to provide an environment that not only encourages academic achievement but also inspires spiritual growth, compassion, and a deep sense of social responsibility.
At All Saints Catholic College honour the past as we build upon the work of the clergy, religious orders and parish community that have come before us.
I am proud of the wonderful work being done in our College and I am confident that our students will continue to excel as they grow into young adults who lead with integrity, kindness and faith.
I encourage you to explore the many facets of our school community and I invite you to join us in making this a place where faith and knowledge are celebrated and where the future is Inspired by Christ.
Mr John Kennedy
Principal K–12
Charism
All Saints Catholic College is founded on the charisms of the Sisters of Charity and the Patrician Brothers, and it is these values that will continue to inspire our new learning community. We honour our Catholic faith and put into practice our school motto ‘Inspired by Christ’. In this period of exciting change, and to celebrate the coming together of three school communities into one, we will reflect on the words of Saint John Paul II:
“Remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to look forward to the future with confidence”. (2001)
