St Helena's Catholic Primary School is a co-educational primary school of approximately 475 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6. The school provides a strong foundation for children's spiritual, intellectual, social, moral, physical and aesthetic development by providing a supportive and nurturing environment which contributes to each student's sense of self-worth, enthusiasm and optimism for future learning and discovery. It is a faith and learning community, where teachers use their skills, knowledge and experience to address the unique learning needs of each student and to maximise each student's learning opportunities. Our aim is to give our children a thirst for learning that continues with them throughout their future school experiences and lives. We recognise that parents are the first and foremost educators and that we work in partnership with them in providing an education program that meets the needs of every child. At St Helena's learning is strongly focused on the development of literacy and numeracy skills with ICT skills integrated into daily learning. As students progress through the school there is an increasing emphasis on the developing of knowledge and skills, particularly within the Science learning area.
