About our school
St Joan of Arc is a co-educational parish primary school in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Brighton. Established in 1921 under the guidance of the Presentation Sisters, the school is now governed by a lay Principal and staff. The school currently has an enrolment of approximately 390 students, consisting of seventeen class groups. There are two or three classes in each year level, with approximately 25 students in each class.
We support students to become successful learners, confident individuals, and active and informed citizens by providing a comprehensive and inclusive curriculum. We build on essential skills and authentic contemporary learning which is both interactive and innovative. Our learning program enables and encourages students to think critically, work creatively, analyse information and solve problems. We cater for individual needs, learning styles, backgrounds, perspectives and interests to prepare children for the challenges of being part of a complex global community.
