St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School 58A Clovelly Road, Randwick, New South Wales 2031

Welcome to St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School, located in Randwick, Australia. Our school is dedicated to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where each child can reach their full potential.

At St Margaret Mary's, we understand that every child has their own unique learning journey. Our academic and co-curricular programs are designed to empower students to explore new opportunities and discover their passions. We believe in the importance of community engagement and resilience, which is why we offer programs that build confidence, social skills, and emotional well-being.

The foundation of our school is built upon the Brigidine values of justice, love, peace, inclusion, and stewardship. These values, combined with our strong relationship with God, help our students become respectful citizens and lifelong learners.

As the principal of St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School, I am thrilled to be joining the school community in 2023. I am committed to providing an education that promotes excellence and equity in a safe and caring environment. Together with our dedicated teachers and supportive parents, we strive to empower our students to become resilient, creative, and optimistic about their future.

Our school is nestled between Centennial and Queens Park, to the north of our twinned parish - Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Randwick. The school community is warm and inclusive, and we embrace the Brigidine tradition of holistic, lifelong learning and faith education. Our commitment to stewardship and social justice is evident in all aspects of school life.

The vision for learning at St Margaret Mary's is inspired by the ancient trees that shade our playground. We teach our students that a quality education is built on strong foundations, growing together, reaching new heights, and making a positive difference in the world. Parents play a vital role as partners in learning and are an integral part of our school community.

With fresh leadership, we are dedicated to the well-being and learning of all our students. We strive to deliver exciting and purposeful learning experiences that prepare our students for their future endeavors.

St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School was established in 1956 as a K–2 infants school. Over the years, it expanded to become a K–6 school to accommodate the growing population of young families in the area. Our school continues the Brigidine tradition of valuing education in faith and promoting a holistic approach to lifelong learning.

Our mission is inspired by the life of St Margaret Mary and our Brigidine heritage. We educate our students according to the values of justice, love, peace, inclusion, and stewardship. As a faith community, we strive to make a positive difference in the world and promote lifelong learning.

We work closely with our parish to ensure our students have a deep understanding and appreciation of our Catholic faith. Our students actively participate in Masses and other religious celebrations, taking on roles such as reading, singing, and drama.

Parents who wish to present their children for sacraments such as Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation will be invited to attend a Sacramental Information Meeting facilitated by St Margaret Mary's Parish. Our school supports the sacramental programs by preparing the children for these important milestones.

St Margaret Mary's Catholic Primary School is proud to be part of the Sydney Catholic Schools network, which consists of over 150 low-fee Catholic schools in the Sydney Archdiocese. We are committed to providing excellent teaching and learning experiences that ignite a love for Christ and empower our students to reach their full potential.

Lastly, we acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land on which our school stands. We recognize the Elders past and present and honor their ongoing connection to the land.
