St Matthew's Catholic School is a Catholic school located in Lewis Street, Mudgee, New South Wales, Australia teaching from Kindergarten to Year 12.

History[edit]

ACatholic school was first established in Mudgee in the 19th century. Leading Australian author Henry Lawson studied there for a time but struggled to find friends due to deafness and left school early.[citation needed]

A new school in Mudgee south was finished in April 1912.[4] The same week tenders were called for a new Catholic School.[5][6][7]

July 1914 saw tenders called for a new high school building[8][9] completed in 1916.[10]

In 1992, part of the school was burnt down by vandals. A new school was rebuilt on the site. The school currently has approximately 600 students in attendance.

As of the end of the 2008 school year, a new secondary building has been confirmed and will go from years 7–12.
