Quality teaching and learning is at the heart of everything we do at St. Charles Borromeo Primary School. The classrooms are alive with learning. The students are engaged, focused and happy in a safe and productive learning environment. We teach each individual child from their point of need and make authentic links to the global community.

Our approach in the classroom is to provide each child with the opportunity to reach their potential in a supported and inspiring contemporary learning setting.

Principal's Message

At St Charles Borromeo we value our families as the primary educators of their children. This is particularly true of the values and spiritual growth of your child. The Catholic school, as part of the parish, supports and complements the family in this development. Therefore, the full benefit of the Catholic school occurs when you enable the school, its families, the parish and the wider community to work together to create lifelong learners.

We work closely with families to provide students with an authentic voice in their learning and belonging in our community. At St Charles Borromeo we recognise that families make an important contribution to the education of their children and we welcome active involvement and participation in the life of the school. Evidence suggests that whenever parents are actively involved in their children’s education, educational outcomes are significantly improved.

At St Charles Borromeo we work in partnership with families, nurturing each student’s individual development. We challenge, guide, support and assist students in every possible way and ensure student well being is central as we personalise learning for each student.

I look forward to welcoming you into the St Charles Borromeo School community. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to visit our school.
