OUR HISTORY

The parish of St Bernadette’s Lalor Park was established in 1960 and the Sisters of St Joseph were invited to establish St Bernadette’s Primary School in the same year.

The Sisters of St Joseph came from Baulkham Hills Novitiate to teach at St Bernadette’s Parish School. Originally the school was set up in the church with all furniture and classroom partitions packed away to enable weekend mass.

In December 1963, a convent was built for the Sisters to live on site. With the population expanding, a parish and school assembly hall was built in 1971 and two Kindergarten classrooms were added in 1980.

St Bernadette's Primary has grown from its humble beginning sharing a space with the Parish Church. The convent was converted to a dedicated administration area for the school and the original Church was re-modeled to be a modern library and multipurpose room.

The school has evolved throughout its long history of serving the local community. It now includes an extensive modern playground and four state of the art contemporary learning spaces that are fully resourced to ensure the best personalised teaching and learning is delivered to all our students.
