Welcome to Santa Clara School
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Santa Clara School, a vibrant Catholic primary school with over 70 years of history in educating young minds and hearts. Rooted in the Dominican tradition inspired by Veritas—God’s truth and love, we prioritise every child’s well-being, ensuring a safe and supportive environment where all feel respected and valued.
Our school values—creativity, caring, resilience, courage, and truth—are deeply connected to our Dominican tradition. By encouraging all to embody these values, we guide our students to become compassionate and courageous members of their communities.
At Santa Clara School, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative learning programs that nurture creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. With specialist programs in STEM, Music, Language, and Physical Education, alongside various extracurricular activities, we provide opportunities for every child to discover and develop their unique gifts and passions. Grounded in a Christ-centred and contemporary environment, we are dedicated to supporting each child’s faith, academic growth, and personal development.
To support our busy families, we offer Vacation Care and Out-of-School Hours Care (OSHC) programs, providing a welcoming and engaging space for students before and after school, and during school holidays.
We deeply value the strong partnerships we share with parents and carers. Working together, we can ensure the growth and success of every child. Our dedicated staff are passionate about creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where diversity is celebrated, and every student feels a true sense of belonging.
At Santa Clara School, we are blessed in God’s truth, growing in love, and preaching through prayer and actions. We are excited to invite your family to journey with us as we build on the vibrant, faith-filled community that makes Santa Clara School so special.
