A Catholic boys boarding school in NSW's central west has formally apologised for historic sexual abuse at the school.

St Stanislaus College in Bathurst held an apology service on Friday night for students abused between the 1970s and 1990s.

"We wish to speak directly to the victims first - this is their apology," the school's head Dr Anne Wenham said in a statement on the school's website ahead of the service.

"We cannot come close to ever living the pain and suffering that the victims of sexual abuse at Stannies and their families have experienced and continue to experience."

The school will make two apologies delivered to survivors public on Monday.

Former St Stanislaus chaplain Brian Spillane was in February sentenced to at least nine years' jail for sexually abusing homesick boarding students in the 1970s and 1980s.
