As the new Principal of Mater Dei Primary, I am excited to serve a community united ‘one in spirit’. At the core of our mission lies the profound commitment to provide a solid foundation for our students through Catholic education. Our faith is not merely a component but a guiding light, shaping the journey of our children and fostering relationships built on trust and hope.
Here at Mater Dei, we embrace a vibrant community where every individual is cherished and supported in their pursuit of learning and personal development. Our partnership between home and school is fundamental, reflecting our shared vision of creating an environment where each child can thrive. Since my arrival, I’ve been deeply engaged in understanding and connecting with our school community – an enriching experience for which I am grateful.
Our school boasts dedicated staff, engaged parents, and proud students who celebrate their achievements and the school’s rich heritage. Established in 1990, Mater Dei has evolved into a renowned learning hub, nurturing partnerships between parents, Parish, and staff to empower every child to reach their full potential.
With an enrolment exceeding 320 students from Kindergarten to Year 6, Mater Dei stands as a beacon of academic excellence and spiritual growth within the Sacred Heart Parish. Our commitment to fostering a positive school culture, grounded in gospel values, is evident in every aspect of our curriculum and community life.
While our faith journey remains central, we embrace diversity and promote values of respect, tolerance, and inclusion. Our dedicated staff continuously strives for professional growth to meet the diverse needs of our students, while fostering strong partnerships with parents through open communication and shared expectations. We are grateful for the active involvement of our parents in school life, reflecting our collective dedication to the holistic development of our children.
Come and experience the heart of Mater Dei Catholic Primary School, nestled in the serene surroundings of Lake Albert. Join our community of welcome, faith, service, and learning, and provide your child with the opportunity to embark on a journey of growth and discovery.
I look forward to meeting you through our weekly tours, meetings and open day opportunities across the year.
