About the Business
Welcome to St Columba's Primary School, the little school with a big heart. Located in the beautiful suburb of Elwood on Glen Huntly Road, our school is not just an establishment or a point of interest, but a place where children thrive and grow.
At St Columba's, we believe in the power of care, empathy, and respect for diversity. Every child who walks through our doors is known by name and embraced as an individual. Our dedicated staff take pride in creating a real sense of inclusiveness, ensuring that each child feels valued and supported.
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) school offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), we go beyond traditional education. We focus on teaching the child, not just the subject. Our educators carefully select and design content, using strategies that foster independent inquiry and learning. We empower our students to think critically, ask questions, and discover answers for themselves.
Our aim is to keep children curious and instill a joy for learning. We want them to question the world around them and take action where they see a need. Through personalized learning opportunities, we ensure that each child receives the education they need to thrive and reach their full potential.
In addition to our exceptional academic program, we offer a vibrant specialist program including Mandarin, performing and visual arts, physical education, kitchen garden, and music. We believe in providing a well-rounded education that nurtures not only the mind but also the body and spirit.
We invite you and your child to come and experience our unique school with a big heart in action. Join us for an open day or schedule a private tour to see firsthand the incredible learning environment we have created.
We would also like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the Country on which we learn and play. We recognize and honor the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples, their ancestors, and their Elders; past, present, and emerging.

Reviews
"I joined this school this year and already feel welcomed and at home and the students here are super kind and caring, especially my friends. This school is so sustainable, we are encouraged to do get out of our comfort zone and have fun!!!"
"Our family is incredibly fortunate to be part of the St.Columba’s community since 1973, when I attended prep, followed by my sisters in 1975 and 1989. I have watched the school develop and evolve with great interest over the years, and now as a parent can truly see what a wonderful school St.Columba’s is, through my daughter’s joy and involved learning. I am not sure which one of us is happier; her attending this wonderful school, or me seeing first hand the care, attention and detailed primary education my daughter receives during these very important years. Without a doubt, St.Columba’s sets the gold standard in school leadership and teaching staff - the teachers are truly amazing! Their dedication is evident in creating and nurturing an environment of kindness, responsibility and leadership, whilst imparting Catholic values across the curriculum. It will be an easy decision for our family to send my niece to St. Columba’s when she is ready for prep in 2023. Good things do indeed come in small packages."
"My twins started at St Columbas this year in Year 3 and it's been an easy transition for all of us. The school has been so welcoming and my boys are very happy now. My boys have used the following words to describe the school; organised, clean and with lots of good kids to play with. The school has a true interest in the wellbeing of each child and take the time to help develop social, psychological and academic growth. The staff are educators with a lot of heart."
"Having had 3 children attend the primary years at St Columba's I can say that the staff provide an individual and nurturing environment for each student and all have a passion for each student to reach their full potential academically, emotionally, psychologically and physically. The broad range of opportunities offered extend each student in so many ways. As a family we have been privileged to be part of a wonderful community that still exists today even though my children are now at the end of their senior years. St Columba's gave my children the best start and the best opportunity to achieve the optimal outcome for each of them. I highly recommend St Columba's for so may reasons and Daniela has an exceptional innovative and creative vision for the ongoing excellence in every aspect."
"All of our children attended this school. The attention to the wellbeing and education to the 'whole child' is exceptional. Recent feedback from a teacher at their secondary school ... 'we can tell the students who have come from St Columba's, they are kind and care for others'. The Principal and staff teach with passion and creativity. This is an exemplary school."
