St. Margaret Mary's Primary School

As parents, we wanted a primary school for our children that encompassed a positive and academically rich environment, that also natured a Catholic faith. Being part of this community has re-assured us that our choice of school was correct compared to many others that we investigated and visited throughout the area.l take my hat off to the staff of St Mary Margaret for their dedication and willingness to guide each and every student on their journey through this very important part of the lives.

We have two kids at St Margaret Mary's, and a third starting in 2021, and we cannot speak highly enough about the school. The school culture is progressive, focuses on student wellbeing and encourages curiosity and independence. There is a warmth and a sense of community that comes with the small school environment, and our kids have felt secure and have thrived from the very beginning of their school experiences. The teachers are truly exceptional at teaching to individual children's abilities and strengths, whilst still providing structure and routine.

Have sent our two sons there and our daughter will go there in a couple of years. School is small with either composite and single grades which we have loved and allowed our kids to get the tailored help they have needed without getting lost in the crowd. School is very diverse and inclusive with families from many cultures and backgrounds and is particularly inclusive in its approach to religious education promoting values that align to any creed. The Parents and Friends environment is active and a lot of fun and we've made many new friends amongst this community. The teaching staff have been amazing and extremely generous with their time with the school providing extra 1: 1 remedial learning when required to ensure our kids don't fall behind. This element of the schools approach to learning has been simply exceptional and a real benefit of a relatively small school. We look forward to many more years as part of its community.

I am so impressed by the expertise and professionalism of the staff at St Margaret Mary's School. My child is very lucky to be part of such a welcoming, rich and personalised learning enviornment.

We absolutely love this school. Our eldest son began prep last year and his school experience has been amazing. The staff are committed to the well being of the whole student - mentally, physically and spiritually. They have a strong focus on spiritual inclusion, environment and sustainability and giving back to the community. I highly recommend considering this school. I will be sending my other two boys in the coming years and have every faith they will be just as happy as our eldest is.

We are currently taking enrolments for 2021 and 2022. If you are looking for a play based program to support your child's social development in a small, supportive setting you have come to the right place. See our website for more details. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cathy office reception so unbelievably rude - Kept talking over me when asking a question about enrollment.

My primary school where I learned my English and behavior. I remember my teacher in grade one: Miss Mackey. 50 years ago.

My old primary school, where I met friends and lovely teachers I'm still seeing to this day (40yrs later)!
