The BEST General Schools in Stubbo NSW

St Matthews Catholic School, Mudgee is a Kindergarten to Year 12 Catholic school within the Bathurst Diocese. Our first Year 11 cohort began at the school in 2015, and completed their Higher School Certificate in 2016. Adjacent to the CBD, St Matthews Primary Campus is in close proximity to our Parish Church - St Mary's, Mudgee Swimming Pool and various sports grounds. Our new state of the art Secondary Campus is located on Broadhead Road on a spacious 25 acres of land. Catholic Education in Mudgee has existed since 1861. In 1874 the Sisters of Mercy arrived and the Convent was built in 1879. The original St Matthews school was built in 1912 with additions in 1936, 1957, 1965 and 2011. In September 1992 the entire pre-1965 section of the school was destroyed by fire. The recent school additions were blessed and opened by Bishop Michael McKenna on Friday 30th March, 2012. As a Christian educational community we promote meaningful values and vision, based on the life of Jesus Christ. Our school motto is Veritas Magna et Praevalebit (Truth and Excellence will Prevail). This refers to a whole school atmosphere characterised by the search for what is true. The values are expressed not only in our Religious Education curriculum but also in the values that underpin all our Key Learning areas and co-curricular activities.

Gulargambone Central School (GCS) caters to the learning needs of students from Kindergarten to Year 12 (K-12). It is located 120km north of Dubbo between Gilgandra and Coonamble and is a member of the Bourke School Education Group. The school's remote rural setting allows direct access to many practical, employment oriented learning situations and to unique environmental settings. Students are drawn from the township itself and from rural properties in the surrounding district. Enrolments in recent years are around 70, with approximately 75% of students identify as Aboriginal. As an inclusive and comprehensive school, GCS plays a highly significant role in the local community. It provides a context within which the various diverse groups within the community meet and work together. The community has a strong sense of ownership, empowerment and participation in the functioning of the school. The school is well resourced and receives vital additional financial support from the Country Areas Programme (CAP), Norta-Norta, Priority Schools Programme (PSP) and Low Socio-Economic Status (Low SES) Funding. Our recently completed Trade Training Centres will allow us to extend our provision of career oriented courses.
