About our school
Our Lady of the Way Catholic Primary School will promote a contemporary approach to learning and teaching which cultivates rich and authentic learning experiences.
The curriculum has been developed to provide an excellent student centred holistic education. One that engages them in authentic, purposeful learning; and incorporating the Victorian Curriculum, standards and priorities.
Our Lady of the Way will provide a learning environment that incorporates an innovative, professional and dedicated teaching culture with high expectations of student learning outcomes. The school adopts a structured approach to curriculum planning that ensures a shared vision with the school on curriculum development, common documentation and common understanding of the whole school curriculum by teachers.
Underpinning all that is covered in the curriculum is a strong belief that spiritual development is of paramount importance. Religious Education, Faith and Mission have a special place in the curriculum at Our Lady of the Way as they reflect our unique character and focus as a Catholic school.
Principal's Message
It is an honour to welcome you to Our Lady of the Way Catholic Primary School, Wallan. Established in 2018, Our Lady of the Way is one of two Catholic Primary Schools, serving the local Parish community of St. Patrick’s Parish Kilmore. As a Catholic Primary School, we are a vital part of the life of the church and central to the life of the Parish. We recognise Christ as central to our lives and his Gospel message of love and inclusion, as the cornerstone of all we say and do.
As a Catholic learning community, we are committed to the provision of a faith-filled and caring learning environment for our children. There is a great emphasis placed on ‘building’ and ‘growing’ a community, in which the children are able to develop and learn safely and happily, as they come to know and understand themselves and their faith as Catholics.
At Our Lady of the Way we understand that forming positive relationships is at the centre of good teaching. Our staff are passionate about the children in their care and how they learn best. We aim to provide a diverse and flexible environment where the children can thrive, develop a passion for learning and strive to be the best person they can be.
We provide a caring and nurturing environment where the needs of each child are at the heart of what we do. The learning spaces are flexible, adaptable and aesthetic, embracing the importance of interaction, communication and collaboration; enabling the learning community to share and learn from each other. The provision of state of the art technology resources is integral to the school’s belief of accessing both the local and global communities. We are on an exciting journey where we learn together and celebrate each other’s achievements.
As stated in Our Vision statement, ‘We seek to inspire in students a passion for life, a love of learning and a desire to be of service to others.’
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website to learn more about our wonderful school. I warmly invite prospective parents to come and visit our vibrant school, see our learning spaces and experience an environment in which our students are challenged by the best educational practices and supported to be the best versions of themselves.
God bless
Terry Cooney – Principal
