A Warm Welcome
We welcome your interest in St. Raphael’s Catholic Primary School. We offer a holistic, faith-filled, Catholic education where every child is known, valued, and nurtured to grow towards learning excellence. With a strong focus on high-quality teaching and a commitment to excellence across all learning areas, we strive to grow each learner with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to thrive in our ever-changing world.
At the heart of our school is the Catholic faith. Our strong Catholic identity and deep sense of spirituality are evident in all aspects of school life. We live and promote the Gospel values of Acceptance, Honesty, Trust, and Hope, which guide our actions and shape our community, one that is relational, welcoming and inclusive.
Teaching and learning at St. Raphael’s is guided by a shared vision, the Victorian Curriculum, and evidence-based practices. The explicit instructional sequenced process offers a coherent and knowledge-rich approach to education that responds to the needs of today’s learners. We believe in dynamic, innovative teaching that empowers students to become independent, socially responsible, and confident contributors to their world.
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.” - Michelangelo

Our contemporary, engaging, and safe learning environments support the learner, and we pride ourselves on knowing, valuing, and respecting each school community member. Our school truly values where strong partnerships between home and school are built on open communication and mutual trust.
