About our school
Our Lady’s School opened in Craigieburn in 1980 with 70 students. With the growth of the town of Craigieburn, the population of Our Lady’s School has steadily increased, reaching 580 students in 2007.
The school has a current enrolment of 680 with 27 classes. With a rich cultural diversity, Our Lady’s endeavours to ensure students and their families are given the opportunities to celebrate and share their history and culture.
The Learning and Teaching programs within the school are designed to engage students in a broad range of curriculum areas and stimulate their sense of curiosity in the world around them. In addition to the prescribed AusVELS curriculum and our Religious Education program, we offer specialist classes in the areas of The Arts, Physical Education, Science and Library. The students have access to 1:1 digital technology as a tool for learning in all levels of the school.
