We are building Eileen O’Connor Catholic School, a purpose-built K–12 school in Tuggerah, designed to provide specialist, faith-based education for students with moderate cognitive disability and/or autism. This is more than a construction project. It’s a shared mission to create a school where every child is seen, known, and supported to thrive and be fully embraced and understood. Accepted for who they are and the great gifts they offer our community.
The Tuggerah site will become the base school of Eileen O’Connor Catholic School. It will offer:

  • Specialist classrooms
  • Small class sizes with expert staff
  • Seamless pathways from early learning to post-school transitions
  • Integration with the wider Central Coast school precinct
  • A place built with Catholic values at its core
    This $65 million project is being funded by Catholic Schools Broken Bay, with support from government grants, and from community and corporate partners who believe in what this school means to our community.
    How You Can Help
    To make this vision a reality, we are inviting the community to get involved through:
  • Donations and major gifts
  • Business or corporate sponsorships
  • Keeping connected in the progress of the school
  • Most importantly, by helping us share this story
    Every contribution — big or small — is a brick in the foundation of something truly special.
