About our school
At St Oliver’s we work together as a faith community to provide a quality Catholic education for all children enrolled at our school. We recognise that this is best achieved through positive and supportive relationships between students, parents/guardians, teachers and the wider Parish community. We promote a strong sense of welcome and belonging within our community.
The wellbeing and the social emotional development of our students underpins everything that we do at our school. We have developed a school culture where students have positive attitudes and show genuine concern for each other and the school community as a whole. Values and resilience are fostered through the social emotional learning program ‘Bounce Back’ that is taught in each class.
At our school we recognise that parents are the primary educators of their children. We value the importance of strong home/school links and promote a sense of connectedness with our families. There are many opportunities for parents and caregivers to participate in the daily school life of their children, and we embrace building relationships with the wider community to enhance learning and teaching opportunities for our students.
Our school is an integral part of the Parish of St Oliver’s in Pascoe Vale. As a faith community we aim to build on the faith experiences that the children have received from their parents at home and from their extended families. We recognise the parents of our children as the first educators in faith and we have a supportive community of parents who are involved across the school in a variety of ways. Many thanks to all of our staff, the students, the parents and the parish of St Oliver’s who make our faith community so special.
Principal's Message
Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child at St Oliver Plunkett Primary School. As Principal, my role has many facets and layers. One of the most important is ensuring we are a Faith and professional learning community where every child in our school has the right to learn, feel safe and be happy.
I am excited and humbled to be the Principal of such a welcoming community who work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students. I believe successful schools place students at the centre of all decision making and use data to inform teaching and learning.
At St Oliver Plunkett Primary School we use evidence based practices to implement an engaging and challenging curriculum that allows all learners to be critical thinkers and creative problem solvers. With Catholic Identity at our core, we aspire to model and encourage the Gospel Values in all our words and actions.
We are a unique professional learning community, as our teachers work tirelessly to make a difference and provide educational experiences that allow students to achieve academic and personal growth in their learning. Through curriculum planning and implementation, our students come to a deeper understanding of themselves, others and their world. They are explicitly taught the skills and dispositions necessary for them to be positive and active citizens in the future.
We invite you to join our faith and professional learning community, where we openly encourage families to become actively involved in the life of the school and together with our families, we work on building the best climate we can provide for our children.
I look forward to developing a professional and collaborative partnership with our families.
Delfina Pieri – Principal
