Principal's Welcome

Omnia Pro Christo—All for Christ.  This motto lies at the heart of St Clare’s High School, serving the Manning Valley and its surrounds.  Inspired by the traditions of St Clare and St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, and founded by the Sisters of St Joseph, we embrace a rich heritage of faith, service, and excellence. 

We passionately believe in education as a transformative force that empowers young people to develop their strengths and talents. Our dedicated and highly skilled staff are life-long learners, equipped to bring out the best in our students, pastorally and academically ensuring that every student is challenged and supported in a dynamic educational environment. 

Learning at our school extends beyond the classroom. Through involvement in sports, creative arts, leadership, service, and faith, students discover their creativity, teamwork, communication skills and other invaluable life lessons they will carry with them long after graduation. It is our goal that each student develops courage and resilience while fostering a strong sense of self, so they can shape their world with confidence into the future. 

We believe education is a partnership. Our strong relationship with parents is a cornerstone of student success, and together we nurture young people to reach their full potential.  Our outstanding results in the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and our respected standing in the community reflect our commitment to high expectations and academic excellence. 

Our students wear their uniform with pride, knowing they belong to a school built on the core values of CLARE—Connect, Learn, Aspire, Respect, Engage. These values guide every aspect of school life, shaping young people into confident, compassionate individuals who are ready to contribute to society. 

I warmly welcome you to our school community, where faith, learning, wellbeing and leadership come together to inspire the next generation.
