St James Catholic Primary School is committed not only to the academic growth of students but also to their emotional and spiritual development.
The school plans for learning in an inclusive and safe environment where high quality Catholic education is consistently delivered with an emphasis on improving learning outcomes for all children.
This is why St James holds its students at the centre of all decision making.
Its experienced and nurturing staff are passionate educators who work towards all children reaching their full potential by providing engaging and individualised learning experiences.
St James has a strong focus on student wellbeing, fostering teamwork, resilience, and confidence.
The team recognises parents as the first and foremost educators of their children, who, before even starting school, have learnt to be curious, ask questions, and investigate their world.
They have learnt from their parents the importance of being responsible, respectful, and safe.
At St James, the team strives to continue this work and partner closely with parents to further build on this solid foundation, focusing on the development and promotion of the whole child.
This year, the school implemented the Resilience Project, which staff, students, and families have really valued.
Students speak about moments of gratitude in their day, practice mindfulness, and understand the importance of empathy for others.
Excursions are also highly valued, with the whole school recently visiting the Royal Melbourne Zoo to kick start the biological sciences unit of learning. It was a great day with lots of stories shared.
St James is taking enrolments for 2026 for all year levels and conducting school tours.
