Principal's Message
I feel very honoured and privileged to be the Principal of St Louis de Montfort’s Aspendale. – It is a pleasure to be working in partnership with parents, staff, Father Andrew and the whole school and parish community.
This is my third time back at St Louis, I was a student, then returned as a graduate teacher and now, the principal.
St Louis offers our students a high standard of education encompassing spiritual, academic, social and emotional growth, within a positive, supportive and contemporary learning environment.
St Louis has extensive grounds for students to find a place to explore and collaborate. A wellbeing hub that is a converted tram, a Garden to Kitchen program and a school farm.
St Louis has a performing Arts Centre and it a sustainable school, having achieved the 5 Star Resource school.
St Louis’s is recognised as a most welcoming school community, as we work together to develop the potential of each student and provide a balanced and personalised curriculum, with a strong focus on student wellbeing.
With Parish relationships and Catholic values the cornerstones that our School was built on, I am proud of the links between our school and parish. As a Catholic School, St Louis’ aims to support your efforts in providing a Catholic education for your child.
I look forward to welcoming you to St Louis and for you to experience firsthand, our wonderful learning community. May your association with our school be positive, faith-filled and engaging.
