St Luke the Evangelist School 38-56 Orchard Grove, Blackburn South, Victoria 3130

Welcome to St Luke the Evangelist Primary School, located in Blackburn South, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, our school is dedicated to providing a nurturing and faith-based learning environment for our students.

At St Luke's, we believe in the power of strong partnerships between our school, families, parish, and the local community. Research has shown that when schools collaborate with families and their communities, children thrive and outcomes improve. We are a community of learners who strive to be the best we can be, drawing on our faith and these partnerships.

Our passionate teachers are committed to acknowledging the dignity of every child and celebrating their individual strengths. They take into consideration each child's personal learning style when designing and implementing a broad range of school-based programs. Our teachers nurture the spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of our students, serving as role models and mentors to inspire them to become creative, innovative, and optimistic young adults of tomorrow.

St Luke's is a safe learning environment that is supported by our dedicated staff, parents, and parish. Our faith-filled parish community is led by Fr Gerard Johnson. With 165 enrolled children, we discover, explore, and grow together, guided by a strong sense of justice and kindness. We embrace and celebrate the diversity of culture and faith within our school community, and we are grateful to our First Nations people for allowing us to use their sacred land.

We invite you to visit our unique community here at St Luke the Evangelist in Blackburn South and experience the joy and sense of discovery that our community shares. We are proud to be a part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and operate under the governance of Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS). MACS oversees Catholic schools in the Archdiocese, continuing the mission of Catholic education by equipping our young people with knowledge, skills, and hope to live meaningful lives and make a positive impact on the world.

To ensure effective governance and collaboration, School Advisory Councils have been established to connect the wider school community with school leaders. This model allows parish priests to focus on the mission of education in the parish, promotes collaboration between schools, and ensures consistency in policies and procedures.

Join us at St Luke the Evangelist School and become a part of our vibrant and inclusive learning community. Together, we can inspire and empower our students to reach their full potential and make a difference in the world around them.
