We were talking about this at my art class today, and I was pretty sure they were, but someone told me they're not. Are they? I mean, they can't have compulsory religious teaching if you fall into that catchment area, right?

All catholic schools in Australia are private. Government schools here are all non-denominational. However some kind of optional religious education is normally available, particularly in primary school.

Yes catholic schools are classified as private. We don't pay absorbent fees as actual private schools but its semi-private to be honest we don't get the same amount of funding as public but same as private but our school fees aren't that high. And yes religion is COMPULSORY, if you try to argue then generally the question would be "why did u come to a catholic school?" If you go to a Christian affiliated school (Knox, Syd Grammer etc) not catholic religion subject is mostly optional.

Yes. The word catholic in itself means universal so all Catholic schools are parochial or private school world wide.
