About our school
The school is located in the North West region of Melbourne on the Maribyrnong river.
The school has 14 classes. It has a church attached to the school grounds, new library/ technology resource centre and multi purpose room, a glazed roof has been erected over the outside courtyard. There is a teacher resource room, staff room and canteen.
The school is networked for information technology and this is used in a number of creative ways. The yard consists of an adventure playground, netball court and large grasslands boarded by trees.
Our education program follows Victorian Curriculum. The learning experiences of children and their cultures are intrinsically linked to our teaching. Children experience excursions to further develop their learning and to allow for the lived experience to tap into their lives.
Principal's Message
Education in the 21st Century is in a state of constant change, which lays down a challenge to students, parents and all staff. At St. Margaret’s school we have a dynamic curriculum that promotes contemporary learning. Within this context we strive to promote our motto of “Knowledge, Faith, Compassion and Community”.
Keeping this in mind we see St. Margaret’s school as a place where we:
- promote the growth of the whole person, acknowledging and celebrating that we learn at different rates;
- strive to be a welcoming community that aims for educational excellence;
- are proudly Catholic, celebrating rituals and traditions;
- teach Christian values based on the Gospels;
- teach the values of respect, integrity, acceptance of difference, friendliness, co-operation and support;
- emphasise the importance of Literacy and Numeracy;
- keep abreast of current ICT, and use it as an effective resource;
- value the contribution and partnership developed between the student, family and school.
It is hoped that our website will give you an insight into the life of St. Margaret’s Maribyrnong, and lead to a great clarity of our purpose.
