Every school has a motto or mission statement that outlines how each member of the community can benefit from being part of the school community.
St Clare’s Primary School, Officer, has ‘Faith leads to courage, wisdom and compassion’.
To live out this motto, all members of the St Clare’s community are asked to follow school-wide expectations: respect, optimism, courage, kind, and safe, or ROCKS.
Students follow these in their daily actions at school by doing their job, having a go, making positive choices, seeking help when needed, modelling and practising kindness, and keeping themselves and others safe.
At St Clare’s, these expectations are modelled and explicitly taught and reinforced in an ongoing way.
Student awards are based on living out ROCKS, and the school links these expectations to scriptures in the Bible.
The school hopes all members of its community will leave St Clare’s with the school-wide expectations and motto instilled in their minds as they go through life.
St Clare’s looks to nurture the holistic development of each child at the school.
For the St Clare’s family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education, but so is religious education – developing empathy, social justice, and a strong moral compass.
The school encourages active play and healthy bodies; understanding other cultures through learning languages; and the confidence that comes with developing creativity through the performing and visual arts.
This term, St Clare’s is inviting its 2026 Foundation students to spend some further time at school, familiarising themselves with teachers, new friends, and the school environment.
The school team looks forward to working with students and families as they begin their school journey.
The orientation process supports the students, family and school staff as St Clare’s prepares to engage students in their social, emotional, academic, and spiritual learning journey.
St Clare’s wants each child to reach their full potential in a safe, welcoming, and faith-filled environment.
If you are looking to enrol for 2026, contact St Clare’s now as there are limited vacancies.
