About our school
Proudly upholding 125 years of Catholic education within the Mornington community, St.Macartan’s Primary School remains steadfast in its commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering academic excellence.
We are committed to nurturing responsible stewards of the Earth through faith, compassion and action. Guided by Catholic values, we instil empathy, justice and care for all creation.
Sustainability is woven into our curriculum, natural school grounds and community life. Students engage in hands-on initiatives—gardening, recycling, conservation and fair trade—fostering a deep connection to nature.
Our mission goes beyond academics, empowering students to be agents of positive change. Through eco-friendly practices and a shared commitment to caring for the planet, we inspire a lifelong love and respect for the Earth and all its inhabitants.
Principal's Message
At St Macartan’s School we aspire to develop sustainable, collaborative learners, living gospel values as socially just global citizens, confidently adapting to a world of change with hope, understanding and integrity.
Our mission is to celebrate our Catholic faith by living Gospel values, empower learners through a nurturing, innovative environment and foster personal growth.
We promote responsibility for the environment, embrace our multicultural heritage and guide students to become active, responsible members of their communities.
