History

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.

Vision Statement

The vision of Our Lady’s School is based on the Gospel teachings of Christ. We believe that all people have the right to grow, learn and develop in an atmosphere of respect, encouragement and fairness, free from discrimination and prejudice. We recognise the importance of community in pursuing and realising this belief. This includes the school community, the parish community and the wider community who are invited to become involved in our school in different ways.

We support the UNESCO draft declaration for learning under the following headings:

LEARNING TO KNOW
LEARNING TO DO
LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER
LEARNING TO BE

At Our Lady’s, pursuit of learning under these headings is seen to address the philosophy outlined in the first paragraph above, encompassing the spiritual, emotional, physical and social development of the children in our care. This is the vision we share at Our Lady’s Primary School.

Mission Statement

We believe our catholic school to be a place where all can find meaning in their lives.
It is a dynamic and authentic learning community where teachers meet the challenge of creating the best possible teaching and learning environment.
We believe that, as teachers, we can inspire and empower others and that we can be compassionate people of hope in a changing society.
Through teamwork and shared leadership we are able to foster our school identity.
We are energised by the young people to whom we minister and find strength in constructive and caring relationships with colleagues.
We are enlivened by the enthusiasm, care and laughter in our school.
We are a faith community.
