Never see a need without doing something about it
Borinya is a registered Co-educational, Specialist and Secondary Catholic school which operates with the consent of the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst and is owned and operated by Catholic Education Sandhurst Limited (CES Ltd).
Borinya offers young people between the ages of twelve to eighteen an opportunity to reconnect with their education in a supportive learning community. This is enacted through individual learning plans developed in collaboration with the young person and their parent/carers.
