Mater Dei Organisation

Based in the Macarthur and established as a special school in 1957, Mater Dei is an organisation that provides therapy services and education for babies, children, young people and adults with intellectual disability or developmental delay.

Mater Dei belongs to the community of ten schools across Australia called Good Samaritan Education (GSE). Established in 2011 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, the mission of Good Samaritan Education is to sustain and nurture our Catholic schools as Good Samaritan Benedictine communities of learning.

As a school and ministry of Good Samaritan Education, Mater Dei continues to be guided by the Good Samaritan Philosophy of Education and shaped by its commitment to the values of our spiritual tradition, including stewardship, mutuality, prayer, hospitality, humility, discernment, justice and peace
