St Clare’s Catholic Primary School continues to grow and now has an enrolment of over 520 students.
One of the major developments for 2021 is substantial landscape works to incorporate further sport fields and playgrounds.
As part of the parish of St Patrick’s in Pakenham, the school is on site with the Early Learning Centre and the Officer campus of St Francis Xavier College. This provides a seamless transition from early childhood to secondary education.
Each learning space has been designed by award-winning architects to provide a rich environment conducive to relevant, meaningful learning. Before children come to school, parents have taught them so much. They’ve learned to listen, to ask questions, to be filled with wonder, to say thank-you, to wash their hands, to pick up after themselves and to look out for each other.
St Clare’s continues these life lessons and nurtures the holistic development of each child. Numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education; but so is Religious education – developing empathy, social justice and a strong moral compass. St Clare’s encourages active play and healthy bodies, understanding other cultures through learning languages, and developing creativity through the performing and visual arts.
Digital technology is an integral part of learning, and St Clare’s emphasises a student’s capacity for safety, courtesy, critical literacy and independent learning online.
Student achievement is measured not only by academic growth but by each child’s emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Being part of faith-filled community instils students with a sense of identity, a feeling of belonging and a powerful sense of self-worth.
