At Bede Polding College, we honour the vision of John Bede Polding and the traditions of the Marist and Good Samaritan communities by balancing innovation with strong Catholic foundations. As schools across Australia navigate rapid technological change and the rise of AI, our mission remains clear: to nurture a compassionate, connected, and faith-filled learning community where every student is known and valued.

For 40 years, we have provided high-quality Catholic education to the Hawkesbury and beyond. While we embrace contemporary tools that enhance learning, our approach to technology is intentional where every innovation must strengthen, not replace, the meaningful relationships at the heart of our College.

Guided by the Marist values of presence, simplicity and love of work, and the Good Samaritan call to serve with kindness and dignity, we partner closely with families to support each student’s growth. Our dedicated teachers create rich academic, sporting, and cultural opportunities within environments designed to bring out each learner’s strengths.

We know students flourish when their wellbeing is prioritised. Our personalised wellbeing programs foster confidence, curiosity, and resilience.

A Bede Polding graduate is creative, collaborative, and compassionate, prepared for a future where human insight and technological skill work together for the good of others.
