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. St Clare’s continues to go from strength to strength.
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 with state-of-the-art facilities.
Each learning space has been designed by education award-winning architects to provide a rich environment conducive to relevant, meaningful learning. Areas are spacious and well-resourced so as to meet the diverse needs of all learners. The final stage of classrooms was finished in 2020 and current works will include a new playground and sports field.
Before your children even come to school, you, as 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 nurture the holistic development of each child. 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.
St Clare’s 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.
Due to the impact on Covid-19 on schooling in 2020 and 2021 it became clear that digital technology is an integral part of the learning experience in our connected world. St Clare’s emphasises a student’s capacity for safety, courtesy, critical literacy and independent learning online using the most current mobile learning technologies.
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 above all, a powerful sense of self-worth.
St Clare’s aim is to have each child reach their potential; to be a well-rounded individual within a supportive and caring learning environment.
Unfortunately, current restrictions do not allow for school tours but St Clare’s are taking enquiries so will contact you to arrange a school tour as soon as possible.
