OUR LADY’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY
God’s Love And Care For All
Welcome
Our school is a dynamic and welcoming community with strong partnership between school, home and parish. Inspired by the model of Jesus Christ, we welcome families from many different cultures who bring a richness and diversity to our country and our school community.
Child Safety
The moral focus embedded in Catholic school culture is to uphold the dignity of each person and to strive for the full flourishing of each student.
“Every person involved in Catholic education has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/she plays individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make” (Catholic Education Commission of Victoria).
At Our Lady’s we have established and are continually improving the culture of child safety throughout all levels of our school.
COVID-19
Our Lady’s, working with you, has shown it can be flexible and adaptable in responding to the challenges of coronavirus (COVID-19) and will continue to meet student needs as we work into 2021. Term 1 is important for every student, and our teachers will strive to deliver high-quality learning for everyone.
Our focus for Term 1 is on making sure that every student is supported in their wellbeing, learning and transition needs. You can be confident that Our Lady’s will continue the excellent work undertaken by our parents, students and staff.
Camp Australia – Guiding Children’s Growth
We are proud to partner with Camp Australia to provide our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program.
Camp Australia programs are centred on child enrichment, while ensuring a reliable, engaging and hassle-free OSHC service at our school. Their engaged educators foster a safe, inclusive environment where children can relax, have fun and grow.
Your OSHC – OSHC that inspires
Your OSHC is Camp Australia’s before school, after school and pupil free day program, tailored to the likes and interests of each child in service. Camp Australia’s educators design enriching experiences to inspire your children’s confidence, independence and imagination. In any one week, they could be participating in science experiments, active play, creative expression and more – they believe in learning through experience so that each child can grow.
School Fees Concession Program
Any family experiencing genuine financial hardship can apply for a school fee concession.
Concession available to eligible, means-tested Centrelink Concession Card (CCC) holders.
All families in which the fee payer holds an eligible, means-tested CCC (such as an eligible health care card or pensioner concession card) are automatically eligible for a school fee concession. Rebate amount for 2021 is $600 applied only to Family School Fee.
