Our School
About Us
Sts. Cosmas and Damian Catholic School is an inclusive, faith-based learning community that brings together home, parish, and school, rooted in the love of Christ. We help students grow in grace and knowledge and lead lives of faith, hope, and charity. We value the dignity of every person, Gospel values, social justice, environmental responsibility, human solidarity, and the common good. We believe high expectations support achievement and that students thrive in safe, healthy, compassionate environments that respect diversity and respond to individual needs.
Teaching and learning are grounded in research, evidence, collaboration, and shared responsibility. Equity, diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity are central to our Catholic community. We also prepare students with essential 21st-century competencies, including collaboration, problem solving, innovation, knowledge construction, communication, self-regulation, and the effective use of information and communication technology.
School History
Sts. Cosmas and Damian Catholic School opened in September 1982. The original building, constructed in 1950, was formerly known as Danesbury Public School.
Our school is named after Saints Cosmas and Damian, twin brothers born in Arabia who served as doctors in Egaea, Cilicia. Renowned for their healing skills and compassion, they cared for the sick and needy without accepting payment for their services. Their selfless dedication to others continues to inspire our school community, serving as a model of care, service, and kindness for all our students.
