St John Fisher Catholic School at Tumbi Umbi commenced in 1988 with a composite class of Kindergarten-Year 1
children. It has subsequently grown to reach its potential of a two stream school.  

Weekend Masses are celebrated in the Chapel at St John Fisher as an integral part of the Wyong Parish Community
within the Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay. The school has been developed through the generosity of the faithful of
Wyong and is an important part of the parish faith community. It is in the education of the faith that the school is able
to support parents and parish in the development of the religious education of the community.  

The school is closely linked to the Parish of Wyong which is under the guidance of the Parish Priest, Father Stephen Hamilton and the Parish Pastoral Council.

School Logo

The spine of the book and the upright beam of the cross represents the path the children will walk through life. We rely on the teachings of Christ to help us walk this path. 

The book represents the books of learning of faith and knowledge. 

The tree represents the growth of the child, spiritually, cognitively, physically and aesthetically. The tree also represents strength and shelter. We hope the children will grow strong in faith and knowledge and that they will always share the community spirit experienced when sharing shelter, the shelter offered by their school and their church. 

A school is for children who come to learn and play and to develop into caring and informed citizens.

School Prayer 

Jesus teacher, 

As we walk along the path of life help us to grow in Your image.  

Give us the strength to carry any burdens that may cross our path, just as You were given Your cross to bear.  

And, as a tree represents strength, shelter and life, let us be strong in our faith, find shelter in it when times are
hard and rejoice in it when life is good.  

Help us to learn Your ways Lord, and with this growing knowledge become more like You. 

Amen.

Beliefs about Teaching and Learning 

At Saint John Fisher Catholic School we believe:

• children learn in different ways and at different rates
• children learn best when activities are meaningful, relevant and reflect the real world
• that recordings can take a variety of forms
• that children should be empowered to take responsibility for their own learning
• that links to other KLAs should be explained and explored
• children need time to reflect on their learning

As a community we value life long learning and look to develop learners who:

• Collaborate with fellow learners
• Strive for their best
• Take responsible risks
• Listen with interest
• Communicate effectively
• Think flexibly and creatively
• Think about their thinking
• Organise their learning

The school is located on a 2.5 hectare property with fourteen classrooms, an Administration Block, Learning & Resource Centre, Hall, COLA and a Mass Centre.  

The school is supported by an active Parents and Friends Association.
