About our school

Discover the SPAN Difference
At St Paul Apostle North, we offer more than just a place to learn — we offer a faith-filled, inclusive community where every child is known, valued, and empowered to thrive.
With 240 students and a richly diverse population, we are small enough to know each family personally, yet big enough to offer broad learning opportunities that inspire excellence.
Rooted in ¶¶ÒõÆÆ½â values, our approach supports the academic, emotional, and spiritual growth of every student. Our dedicated teachers use evidence-based practices to deliver a curriculum that is knowledge-rich, engaging, and tailored to each learner.
At SPAN, wellbeing is central. We work in close partnership with families to create a safe, respectful environment where students feel connected, supported, and motivated to achieve their best.
We celebrate the unique gifts of every child and nurture strong relationships that foster confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
We warmly invite you to experience the SPAN difference for yourself. Book an Open Day tour via our school website or book a personalised tour by contacting our school office (03) 9700 6068 and discover how our community of faith, learning, and excellence can support your child’s future.
Every day is Open Day at SPAN.
