About our school
Our Lady’s Primary School was established in 1957 when parents and parish combined skills to construct the original building.
Times change, but community spirit remains strong as does commitment to care, achievement and excellence – traditions maintained for forty years at Our Lady’s.
Our Lady’s is a small, friendly school with co-ed classes from Prep to Year 6.
We value the development of self-confidence, independent thinking, and care and sensitivity to others.
Our school is passionate about excellence across and beyond the curriculum. We outperform much larger schools in a wide range of literacy and numeracy based academic competitions including the National Spelling Bee, Rotary Speech Competition, the Australian Maths Competition and Maths Olympiad with students achieving scores in the top 1% of students nationally. Our graduates are recognised as exceptional and selected as valedictorians and leaders in large private high schools across Melbourne – Whitefriars, St Kevins, Siena, Marcellin and many other schools.
Beyond Literacy and Numeracy, we excel in science and technology having won awards in national and local coding and technology challenges, sustainability projects and science based competitions. Our students excel in sport where we regularly out compete much larger schools in Athletics, Cross Country, Swimming, Basketball as well as many other sports. We have a large choir of confident singers, an incredibly impressive skipping club and a strong performing arts program with a former WAAPA trained actor as our Performing Arts teacher.
We are particularly proud of our ¶¶ÒõÆÆ½â identity, passionate about social justice and focussed on pastoral care. We treat every child as an individual, challenging them at their point of need and supporting them where possible in all subjects. Our community is welcoming, diverse and actively involved in our many and varied school-based events including a school disco, fetes, art shows, musicals, barbeques, socials, masses and so many other events.
