1990’s – 2000’s

The 1990s were a positive decade for Sydney Catholic schools thanks to strong academic achievement and a teacher salary boost.

In 1995, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Catholic schools HSC results were better than their government school peers.

Catholic School teachers won the right to be paid the same as public school teachers in 1996. Another milestone came two years later, when Catholic school students sat their first formal religious exam in more than 30 years.
