About our school
At Our Lady of the Southern Cross, our vision is to be a place of innovation and learning that is taking students into the 21st Century and beyond. A place that provides an educational experience that builds a foundation of faith, that develops students’ skills for current and future learning and that extends their learning beyond the school precinct and engages them in interaction with the wider community – local, national and global.
The design of the learning space reflects 21st century learning pedagogy. The embedded technology within the learning space – smart boards, iPads, direct connection and wireless computers with multi-media capacity – fosters the use of technology across the curriculum and builds the independent and interdependent learning strategies of the students as they engage with their peers and involve themselves in networking with other schools and online experts through blogs and the Google suite of collaborative docs.

Principal's Message
Welcome to our Our Lady of the Southern Cross Catholic primary school. As Principal, I am delighted to welcome you to a place where faith, learning, and care come together in a vibrant and supportive environment. Since 2009, we have been proud to deliver Catholic education to the Manor Lakes and Wyndham Vale community, in partnership with St Andrew’s Parish, Werribee.
Our school motto is, Where Every Child is Valued. At the heart of our school is a commitment to nurturing each child spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally. Grounded in the teachings of Jesus and guided by Gospel values, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
Our dedicated staff work in partnership with families and the wider parish community to provide a rich and meaningful educational experience. We believe that every child is a unique gift from God, and we are passionate about helping them discover their talents, grow in confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Whether through academic achievement, creative expression, acts of service, or moments of reflection, our students are given the opportunity to thrive in a caring and faith-filled environment.
I warmly invite you to explore our website to learn more about our school’s values, programs, and vibrant community life. We look forward to welcoming you in person and sharing the journey of faith and learning together.
