Our Lady of the Rosary School is a kindergarten to Year 6 co-educational Catholic Primary School situated on the Central Coast of NSW.
The Parish Priests have a close association with the school providing regular liturgical celebrations for the staff and children. Fr Jack Robson is our current Parish Priest.
Children are drawn from all the suburbs of the parish, Wyoming, Narara, Niagara Park, Lisarow and Ourimbah, with a scattering of children from other suburbs bordering these. Many families have one or both parents commuting to Sydney for work.
The school is committed, in partnership with parents, to provide a quality learning environment where spiritual development and individual growth of each student is valued and nurtured.
