About our school

 

 

 

St Justin’s Parish Primary school opened in February 1984 as a second school in the parish of Good Shepherd, Mulgrave. It moved to its present site in June 1984. It became a parish in 1986 with the appointment of Fr Michael Wheeler as Parish Priest. The second stage of the school building, consisting of eight classrooms, opened in 1992. In 2003 the Administration block was fully refurbished along with the staffroom and the library. The Performing Arts Centre was constructed in 2005 followed by the Wheeler wing in 2010, consisting of 8 classroom and a variety of shared learning spaces and offices. In 2015 the school installed their outdoor kitchen which has enhanced their sustainability program immensely.

​Our school is situated on a beautiful 3 hectare site in Wheeler’s Hill. We have two, synthetically grassed ovals, a netball court, a basketball court and paved areas marked with games. Our back oval provides views of the Dandenong Ranges. We are close to a shopping centre, an art gallery, a local library and a retirement village.
