St Matthews K - 12 Experience

St Matthews Catholic School has grown significantly during the last decade. As a result of this growth, in 2023 we were privileged to commence operations as a dual campus school. Our students from Kindergarten to Year 6 continue to benefit from the existing impressive facilities at our Lewis St Campus in the Mudgee CBD. Students from Year 7 to 12 now have the opportunity to study at our beautiful, contemporary Secondary Campus at Bruce Road. This new site spans nine hectares and boasts a stunning chapel, excellent sporting facilities, a multipurpose hall, state-of-the-art music and drama facilities, extensive spaces for agriculture and primary industries as well as purpose-built rooms for vocational education and training.

Although we now operate across two distinct campuses, St Matthews remains strongly committed to the many benefits that K-12 education can provide. We are still very much, one school community.

Students who have the opportunity to follow the Catholic education pathway through our school from Kindergarten to Year 12 experience a strong sense of belonging and continuity in our approaches to faith, learning and wellbeing. This continuity can play a crucial role in your child’s academic and social development. When your child transitions from Primary to Secondary education within the St Matthews community, they will benefit from being in a warm and familiar context. Already being acquainted with the school culture can significantly reduce the anxiety associated with moving to a new stage of their education and can lead to increased confidence as they navigate the challenges of the new academic expectations of secondary school. Continuity in the same school also allows students to maintain relationships with friends, providing emotional support that can make the transition smoother. We encourage you to visit both campuses and explore the many benefits that a K-12 Catholic education can provide for you and your child.
