St Paul’s Catholic Primary School upholds a commitment to high-quality Catholic education. Established in 1967 in Rapid Creek, this diverse, co-educational community offers innovative learning from the Early Learning Centre through to Year 6. St Paul’s prides itself on the strong relationships it builds with its community, striving to educate students to reach their highest potential while aiming for excellence in all that it does.

St. Paul’s educators consistently work towards reducing the gap between home and school, ensuring parents and teachers are in the best possible position to support each child’s learning. A unified approach to learning includes supportive and engaging programs that foster a collaborative educational environment, with a teaching philosophy that emphasises explicit teaching and a gradual-release learning model.

The school embraces all areas of the curriculum, guided by the Northern Territory Curriculum Framework and the Australian Curriculum in English and Mathematics. Specialist subjects include Information Computing Technology, Indonesian, and Music, conducted by specialist teachers. The school uses learning technologies that reflect the contemporary world our students live in.

The Early Learning Centre focuses on play-based, child-initiated learning while fostering relationships within the community. Regular interactions with the junior school, such as assemblies and library visits, ensure children aged 2–5 years build confidence in their educational journey.

The school offers Out of School Hours Care, providing a safe space for children to relax, explore, and play with activities that spark curiosity during school terms.

At St Paul’s, the school nurtures compassionate, confident learners grounded in faith. Here, every child is known by name, valued for their unique gifts, and guided to flourish academically, emotionally, and spiritually in a supportive environment.

St Paul’s allows your child to step into a space surrounded by inspiring educators, lifelong friends, and a faith that lights their path to excellence. Book a face-to-face or complete a virtual tour today at www.stpaulsnt.catholic.edu.au or contact reception at (08) 8985 1911.
