About our school
St Elizabeth’s School occupies 2.3 hectares of land and is located in North Dandenong, just south of Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre and the South Eastern Freeway. Our school buildings are modern, attractive and flexible to cater for the demands of a progressive education.
As a community we have a very strong commitment to the partnership between parish and school. We appreciate the cultural diversity and richness of our children’s families and welcome their involvement in the life of the school. We are a school committed to the provision of the best possible education for the children within our care and our commitment to this end is unwavering. In all classrooms teachers facilitate learning using the most up-to-date and effective educational practice available. In so doing, teachers aim to balance the social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of students with their availability for learning and academic excellence.

Principal's Message
We are a vibrant learning community where we aspire to instil the Gospel values in all that is said and done. We are an inclusive school, where all are welcome to be a part of our faith filled community.
At our school, the social and emotional wellbeing of every student is paramount in our children achieving success. We recognise that every child is unique; each having special needs, abilities and preferred learning styles. It is our aim to help children grow and develop their special abilities, self-confidence and self-esteem.
As a school, we are committed to the excellence of the whole child, where our vision is one that is visible and enacted in all that we do and is driven through various wellbeing and curriculum initiatives.
Our pursuit of academic excellence for each child is achieved through a dedicated staff, who use a contemporary, relevant and collaborative approach to learning. Our staff provide all our students with a wide range of opportunities to engage in rich, learning experiences in and beyond the classroom, where the needs and interests of our students are at the forefront.
Our students are encouraged to be risk takers; be leaders; be inquisitive; be creative; be innovative; be compassionate; be change makers and ultimately be themselves.
We believe that for each of our children to flourish; to be engaged in their learning; to be independent; to be resilient; to take responsibility for their choices and learning, it requires all within our school and parish community to have this same vision, dedication and commitment, which we continually strive for.
As a faith filled community we continue to build on our outstanding work that has been achieved in all curriculum areas through our contemporary approach, which we invite all to be a part of.
Come and be a part of our school community, where the child is the centre of it all!
Christina Ferguson – Principal
