About our school
Corpus Christi School is a co-educational Primary School located in a quiet pocket of Kingsville, providing a Catholic education for children from Years Prep to Six.
The school was established in 1942, by the Sisters of St Joseph, as part of the Yarraville Parish, and was known as St Flannan’s. When the Kingsville Parish of Corpus Christi was established in 1954, the school’s name was changed to Corpus Christi. Two Sisters of St Joseph began the school with an enrolment of two students, which grew to 60 in the first year. After the arrival of European migrants and refugees, and because of local industrial growth, the enrolment grew rapidly, peaking at 535 children in 1963. After the opening of a second parish school in the late 1950s, enrolments eased.
Over the past fifteen years there has been an extensive building and development program and our school has been transformed into an inviting, contemporary learning environment with expansive play areas of natural and synthetic sports grass. The number of students at Corpus Christi is expected to be within the range of 200 – 230 in the next few years.
Principal's Message
On behalf of the staff, students and parents of Corpus Christi School, I warmly welcome you to our school community.
At Corpus Christi School the child is at the heart of all that we do and we work in partnership with parents to educate children to seek what is true, beautiful and good.
We provide a safe, stimulating, contemporary, technologically rich learning environment where learning and teaching engages, challenges and inspires students to respond to and be successful in their world.
I look forward to working with you and your families throughout your time at Corpus Christi School.
