Academic Focus

As part of the Catholic Schools Broken Bay (CSBB) system of 45 schools, Siena Catholic College will deliver education grounded in authenticity, excellence and compassion. The strong foundations of learning at Sacred Heart, Pymble and OLPS, West Pymble, coupled with the proven track record of CSBB secondary schools in delivering outstanding academic outcomes for all students, will support student learning in the secondary years.
