Mel Maria Catholic Primary School is a place where students receive an education based on Gospel Values, which aim to develop their full potential while fostering a spirit of inquiry and a thirst for knowledge.
We embrace a holistic approach to early learning prioritising the wellbeing of each child. We believe that a child’s spiritual, social, emotional, and physical wellbeing is fundamental to their overall development. Our learning experiences cater to the diverse needs of every student, utilising nature and outdoor education for meaningful hands-on learning. Drawing inspirations from play pedagogies, teachers create progressive educational experiences that challenge students to think critically and creatively. We strive to create intentional, engaging space that sparks curiosity and cultivates a lifelong love of learning. Our approach honours each child’s unique strengths and experiences, fostering a sense of belonging within our vibrant school community.
Our purpose-built facility is tailored to support a holistic approach to learning, with a particular emphasis on well-being. We believe that a child's social, emotional, and physical well-being is central to their development, and we strive to develop a rich environment that nourishes these aspects of growth. At Mel Maria, we have an 'Unconditional belief that EVERY child can succeed.' Our goal is to 'Ignite their hearts and Inspire their minds' so they can reach their full potential.
We understand that selecting a nurturing environment for your child's care can be a stressful experience, which is why we offer the expertise and experience of our Vice Principal over 20 years of experience in supporting young children and their families. She will partner with you to ensure a positive and seamless transition for your child from home to school and is available to address any concerns you may have.
At our Early Childhood Campus, your child will be part of a community that honours their unique strengths, interests, and experiences. We are honoured to collaborate with Notre Dame University in a partnership aimed at remaining up-to-date with the latest research and knowledge in the field of 3 to 8-year-old pedagogy. We are committed to providing your child with the best possible start to their educational journey and look forward to working with you during this exciting time.
