Principal's Message
Welcome to Christ Our Holy Redeemer, a community that values education, faith and friendship as we celebrate our Catholic story. With an emphasis on providing an educational environment catering for the needs of all, our priority is for our students to see themselves as life-long learners who are empowered to meet the demands of the wider world as active citizens.
We believe that every student has the potential to achieve success, and it is our mission to provide a safe, supportive, and challenging environment where learning thrives. We are committed to creating a nurturing learning environment that is not only safe and supportive, but also grounded in the latest research about how students learn best. Our approach is guided by the Science of Learning – evidence based practices that help us understand how the brain develops, how memory works, and how motivation and mindset impact success. From fostering strong teacher-student relationships to using strategies that promote deep understanding and long-term retention, we are continually refining our teaching to meet the needs of all learners.
We also know that education works best when it’s a true partnership. Families are a vital part of our school community, and we deeply value the collaboration between home and school. When parents and educators work together—sharing insights, supporting learning at home, and maintaining open communication—students thrive. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to foster not only academic excellence, but also the values of respect, teamwork and resilience. At Christ Our Holy Redeemer, all staff have a commitment to provide a culture of child safety, including zero tolerance of child abuse.
We are inspired by the Holy Spirit and blessed to work alongside Fr Raju in the Oakleigh Parishes in creating a nurturing and faith filled environment.
It is our hope that you and your child have a rewarding experience here at Christ Our Holy Redeemer.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school community and getting to know your child.
