St Catherines Primary School

Welcome to St Catherine's Primary School, located in Berwick, Australia. We are proud to be a Catholic school that acknowledges and respects the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First People and Traditional Custodians of the land. We also recognize the Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation, on whose land we are fortunate to live and learn.

As an integral part of the Sale Diocese and the Parish of St Michael's, Berwick, St Catherine's shares the mission of bringing Catholic Education to students in Melbourne's southern growth corridor. Situated just 45 minutes southeast of Melbourne, our school is conveniently located for families in the area.

Established in 1996 with 67 students, St Catherine's Primary School has grown significantly and now has an enrollment of just under 700 students. This growth reflects the demographic changes in the area and the increasing diversity of our student body.

Inspired by the life of St Catherine of Siena, we strive to be a Catholic community where God's love is experienced, shared, and celebrated. Our school is committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment, nurturing the development of the whole child. We aim to engage, empower, and encourage our students to develop a love for lifelong learning.

At St Catherine's, we strongly believe in the partnership between parents and the school. We see education as a collaborative effort, where parents are the first and primary educators of their children. By working together, we can help children develop a genuine knowledge of themselves and the world around them.

Our school logo proudly displays our motto, "Our Faith is Our Strength," reminding us of our Christian identity and purpose. We strive to live and work together in a way that reflects our Catholic values and teachings. Our dedicated and motivated parents, carers, teachers, and Education Support Officers all contribute to creating the best possible education environment for our children.

We invite you to explore our website and learn more about St Catherine's Primary School. Whether you are a current or prospective parent, we hope that you will see the values and community that make our school a great place for children to learn, grow, and thrive.
