St Clare’s Catholic Primary School has continued to grow this year and now has an enrolment of over 520 students.
One of this year’s major developments 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 education award-winning architects to provide a rich environment conducive to relevant, meaningful learning. The final stage of classrooms was finished in 2020 and current works include a new playground and sports field.
At St Clare’s, 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.
Digital technology is an integral part of the learning experience. 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 a faith-filled community instils our students with a sense of identity, a feeling of belonging and above all, a powerful sense of self-worth.
