St. Norbert Catholic School facilitates optimum learning and the growth of the whole person through education permeated with Gospel values.

In the context of a caring worshipping community, we promote academic excellence, nurture Catholic values and attitudes, which inspire service to others.We strive to enable students to realize their unique potential.
