If you have a child starting Kindergarten or heading into high school in the next few years, this is one to put on your radar.
A brand new K–12 Catholic school is opening in Pymble in 2027 — and enrolments are now open for Kindergarten and Year 7. Siena Catholic College will give North Shore families a modern Catholic education that prepares children for the future — at a more affordable cost than many independent schools.
Strong Leadership From Day One
Siena Catholic College will be led by experienced educator Mrs Brenda Timp, who brings 25 years of secondary school leadership experience. Most recently, she served as Principal of Mercy Catholic College Chatswood for five years and has been closely involved in Siena’s strategic planning and vision from the beginning.
Mrs Timp shares: “Siena Catholic College students are formed to think deeply, act with compassion and lead with integrity. Siena Catholic College shapes resilient young people of faith, character and leadership who flourish in this complex world.”
Her leadership will set the tone for a school focused not only on strong academic outcomes, but on developing confident, capable young people ready for the future.
A Contemporary, Faith-Based Education
Siena Catholic College will provide families with a seamless Kindergarten to Year 12 education that delivers:
- Strong academic foundations
- Exceptional pastoral care
- Future-focused, innovative learning
- Leadership development opportunities
- A values-driven Catholic education
The College is part of the Catholic Schools Broken Bay (CSBB) network of 45 schools across the region, including high schools such as St Leo’s Catholic College and St Paul’s Catholic College.
The establishment of Siena aligns with CSBB’s long-term vision to deliver innovation and excellence in education across Sydney’s North Shore.
A Unique Multi-Campus Model & Enrolments
Siena Catholic College brings together two established communities — Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Pymble and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Primary School in West Pymble — to form one connected K–12 college.
Families will benefit from the close, caring feel of primary school alongside the strong academics and wider opportunities of high school, all within the one school community.
Siena operates across two campuses and is now enrolling:
Junior Campus – West Pymble: Kindergarten to Year 4
Senior Campus – Pymble: Year 5 to Year 12
The first Year 7 cohort will commence in 2027, with the College expanding to a full K–12 by 2030.
Location & Facilities
Located centrally in Pymble and supported by excellent transport networks, the campus is set within a green, leafy environment featuring:
- Established gardens and mature trees
- A large oval
- A swimming pool
- Purpose-built contemporary learning spaces
Infrastructure enhancements will be delivered in stages, beginning with a new Year 7 and 8 teaching centre featuring specialist learning spaces and modern facilities.
Convenient Transport Connections
Siena’s Pymble campus is ideally located less than 1 km from both Pymble and Turramurra Train Stations.
Regular Sydney Trains services on the T1 North Shore Line connect Pymble with key hubs including Epping, Chatswood and Hornsby.
Students travelling from Ryde, Macquarie Park and Epping can connect via Metro or bus services to Epping or Chatswood, followed by a direct train to Pymble.
These strong transport links make Siena easily accessible for students from across the North Shore and neighbouring communities.
