Targeting learners’ needs

The school places a strong focus on personal and social wellbeing, literacy and numeracy.

Don Bosco Catholic Primary School is privileged to be the first school built within Our Lady Help of Christians Parish.

We are blessed in our Catholic community where the inherent dignity of each member is nurtured, and each person’s faith life is celebrated.

We have built a strong relationship with our parish community and the parish-based sacramental program supports this.

Student learning is designed to target learners at their point of need across all areas.

Our experienced teaching team works collaboratively to build professional learning relationships with students and their families, inviting parents into the learning journey in a variety of ways.

We place a strong focus on personal and social wellbeing, literacy and numeracy; ensuring that our teachers are trained in researched based approaches from phonics through to self and social awareness.

This year we have redesigned student leadership to give our students purposeful opportunities to become actively involved in the life of the school.

Our student representative council is led by our school captains who meet weekly with the principal.

Buddies support the transition into school of our Foundation students and the Year 6s work in leadership teams to build student relationships, learn new skills and reach out to the wider community with Mini Vinnies.

We are excited to continue refurbishments to improve learning environments and play spaces for our students and could not do so without the efforts of both our Parents and Friends and School Advisory Committees.

We invite you to call our school office for a tour on 97047255.

Treasa Barwick,

Principal
