Primary School
It is with joy that we welcome you and your child to the Mater Dei Catholic Primary community. Where all students, from Kindergarten to Year 6, can participate in an enriched curriculum framed by a transformative learning pedagogy, offering vast opportunities and deeper levels of learning.
Our holistic approach to education ensures that each child is regarded and respected as an individual whose uniqueness is nurtured, valued, and enhanced, while also connecting them to a community grounded in our Catholic faith and united ‘One in Spirit’. At Mater Dei, we foster a sense of belonging, where each child grows not only in knowledge but also in their relationship with God and others.
