ABOUT US
Where excellence is valued and the spirit of Jesus lives.
Our School’s mission statement provides the framework for all aspects of our School. This reflects our charism ‘Do ordinary things, extraordinarily well’, (Mary MacKillop), and the Catholic philosophy that excellence is an integral part of the Christian message. It also acknowledges the ‘Encounter with Christ’ that Catholic schools strive to provide for their students.
We strive to ensure that we provide the best environment for your child.
Excellence in Learning
Our School has a strong emphasis in not only creating excellence in the learning programmes but also in the positive relationships and classroom environments we have.
Our priority is towards creating very sound reading, writing and mathematics programmes that are focused on ensuring high expectations are encouraged and modelled.
