Primary/secondary Education - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School was founded in 1913 and after more than a century continues to offer the local community a comprehensive curriculum that supports and empowers its students to become independent, socially aware, lifelong learners.At St Margaret Mary's the well-being of our students is paramount. For students to be able to learn they need to be happy. We aim to develop individuals who are resilient, reflective, self-managed, curious, collaborative and creative within a warm environment where everyone feels that they belong. To that end, the development of relationships between students and their teachers and students with each other is fundamental to our work. We want to develop self-worth and confidence, both requirements for actively engaged learners.We provide our students with opportunities to be immersed in new content across the curriculum and stimulate a lively curiosity about the world around them. We challenge our students through the Catholic social teachings that look to question the status of the global community and give our students opportunities to support others who are locally and globally less fortunate.With our school motto "Catch the Spirit", St. Margaret Mary's School endeavours to ensure that each child will catch the spirit of love and life and experience all that we dream and work for in our Vision Statement.Welcome to our school community – ‘a small school with a big heart'.
