Bede Polding College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day school, located in South Windsor, on the north-western outskirts of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The school delivers a religious and secular education to approximately 1,200 students from Year 7 to Year 12.

The school is administered by the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Parramatta[1] and serves the greater Hawkesbury region and the parishes of St Matthew's, Windsor and Richmond. The school opened in 1986 with 110 pupils and a staff of nine.

The school's patron is John Bede Polding, the inaugural Catholic bishop of Sydney in the Colony of New South Wales.

The college was subject to a devastating fire in late 2003 that resulted in extensive damage to the administration building and teacher study areas.[2][3][4]
