As a Catholic Community, we journey together to become lifelong learners. We value ourselves, our relationships with others and the world around us.
To create a welcoming Catholic Community where Gospel values are lived.
To foster a supportive learning environment that values the common good.
To provide a contemporary innovative curriculum.
Our Religious Education program uses the Pedagogy of Encounter Tool and is centred around the new education framework for all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Melbourne - Horizons of Hope.
All classes begin their school day with Prayer. These sessions provide opportunities for all students to share connection, praise and gratitude and are encouraged to verbalise anything they are thankful for.
Throughout the year, classes celebrate with our Parish community, through joining in with weekly Masses. These are rostered for classes throughout the year, with classes usually attending two Thursday masses per year and often as a whole year level or whole school community we gather for liturgical celebrations such as Masses and non-Eucharistic Liturgies. Whole school liturgical celebrations include Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, as well as, our Beginning and End of Year Celebrations. All families are invited and welcome to attend our liturgical celebrations.

Our Sacraments call us to action and to live a life inspired by the life of Jesus Christ.
