Welcome to the Catholic Primary School

Catholic primary schools provide high-quality academic, social, physical and religious education for more than 112,250 students in the Archdiocese of Melbourne.

Your Child's Learning

Our schools provide an environment which encourages your child to be confident and excited about learning from the start of school life, with a strong emphasis on Catholic tradition and teachings.

Assessing and Reporting Your Child's Progress

Teachers continually observe and assess your child’s learning in class. This assessment assists the teacher to fine-tune teaching strategies for your individual child.

Diverse Learning Needs

Our schools assist all students, including students with diverse learning needs. They work in collaboration with specialised organisations in developing educational programs that are personalised to meet the needs of the individual student.

Your child's health, wellbeing and safety

Children thrive in schools when they feel happy, confident and secure. Your child's wellbeing is our first priority. Our school communities have access to a wide range of student wellbeing support as well as student wellbeing leaders.

Parents and Schools – Working Together

The partnership between you and the school is crucial to ensuring that your child has the best opportunities to enjoy the school experience.

Supporting Parents - Access and Affordability

Every effort is made to support students with additional learning needs or to families experiencing financial difficulties; a range of opportunities for assistance are available.

Complaints

Your school should always be your first point of contact and will have its own Complaints policy to which you should refer. Then, if the matter is not resolved satisfactorily, you may wish to refer to MACS Complaints Policy.
