About our school
Our purpose at St Fidelis is to provide the very best in Catholic Education for the children of today. We strive to provide learning spaces for personalised and cooperative learning that prepare children for a future of lifelong learning. We are committed to ensuring success in the key competencies of literacy and numeracy, as well as an inquiry approach to learning. We engage the expertise of Inquiry Education Consultant Kath Murdoch to build the capacity of all learners within the community. We unpack the Learning Assets of self-manager, collaborator, researcher, thinker and communicator and promote their embedded life skills.
St Fidelis’ Catholic Primary School has a proud tradition of providing quality Catholic education for over ninety years in the Moreland area. It is located approximately 10 kilometres from the central Melbourne CBD, in an area well serviced by public transport and adjacent to the Tullamarine Freeway. The school grounds are located in a well-established, primarily residential zone. We utilise a range of local facilities including Shore Reserve, Dunstan Reserve and Cross Keys Reserve.
The school has two main buildings – one on Saunders Street and the other on Hawthorn Street with our administration office located in Saunders Street building.

Principal's Message
I wish to extend you and your family a very warm welcome to our school. I am honored and privileged to be the Principal of St Fidelis School, a co-educational primary school where we believe that Catholic school communities like ours are most effective when the community works together to educate the whole child emotionally, academically, socially and spiritually. This supports our philosophy that the student is at the centre of everything we do.
Our strong sense of Catholic Identity means that we value spirituality, building and maintaining community and living out the Gospel through providing a nurturing, inclusive and strong sense of pastoral care for all students. We aim to ensure that scripture is central to our Religious Education program and that we celebrate and learn about our Catholic traditions and demonstrate our learning through everyday actions.
My staff and I believe in developing authentic relationships with all our students, their families and the wider community. Our small class sizes allow for personal engagement and a sense of belonging. Our school community is incredibly vibrant, welcoming and engaged. We pride ourselves on providing a learning environment where our students can thrive.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to St Fidelis.
Manuela Watson – Principal
