About our school

Lumen Christi (Light of Christ) was named by the school community in August 2000 after opening as Point Cook Catholic Primary School on Thursday 27 January 2000. Our name and motto, “Let Your Light Shine,” continue to express our belief that every child carries the light of Christ within them, and that our shared purpose is to help that light shine brightly through faith, learning, and relationships.

Located within the Holy Trinity Catholic Parish of Laverton, Altona Meadows and Point Cook, Lumen Christi serves the growing community of Point Cook and surrounding areas. Since opening, our school has become a place where children, families, staff, and parish come together in a spirit of partnership and belonging. This partnership is central to who we are — a faith-filled community committed to nurturing the whole child: spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally.

At Lumen Christi, learning is seen as a shared journey between home and school. Families are active partners in their children’s education, contributing to a culture that values connection, respect, and collaboration. Teachers and support staff work closely with families to create engaging, inclusive, and challenging learning experiences that empower students to be curious, confident, and compassionate learners who make a difference in their world.

Our relationship with the Holy Trinity Parish remains at the heart of school life. Together we celebrate our Catholic faith through prayer, liturgy, and action, encouraging our students to live out Gospel values in their daily lives. The faith experiences we share as a community — whether in the classroom, the church, or through service to others — help our children to understand what it means to be people of hope and love.

Lumen Christi continues to thrive, welcoming around 650 students across 27 classes. We are proud of the strong sense of community that has grown over the past 25 years — one that values learning, celebrates diversity, and supports every child to let their light shine.

Lumen Christi remains true to its mission: to be a place where faith and learning meet, where families and school work hand in hand to belong, and where every child is known, valued, and is called to build hope for their future.

Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to Lumen Christi Catholic Primary School, Point Cook.
It is with great joy that I welcome you and your child into our vibrant and faith-filled community.

At Lumen Christi, our vision is To be guided by faith, uplifted with hope and inspired to shine. This vision calls us to nurture a community where the light of Christ is at the heart of all we do — in our learning, in our relationships, and in the way we serve one another.

We live out this vision through our three mission actions: to Learn, to Belong and to Hope.
We are called to Learn by engaging in rich, meaningful, and challenging learning experiences that inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of discovery.
We are called to Belong by building a community where every child and family is known, valued, and celebrated for the gifts they bring.
And we are called to Hope by placing our trust in God, embracing the future with optimism and faith.

Educating your child is a partnership between home, school, and parish. Together, we strive to support each child in their growth — spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially — so they may become compassionate, confident, and capable learners who shine their light in the world.

Our dedicated staff are committed to providing a high-quality Catholic education that reflects our values and responds to the needs of today’s learners. As part of the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) network, we are guided by shared policies and supported in our mission to be an inclusive community grounded in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We warmly welcome you to Lumen Christi Catholic Primary School and look forward to walking alongside you in faith, learning, and hope as we journey together.

Yours sincerely,
Karen Bergin – Principal
