Padbury Catholic School is a co-educational primary school comprised of 510 students from Kindergarten to Year 6. It serves the Parish of Our Lady of the Mission, Whitfords. Our motto is 'Love One Another.' At Padbury Catholic School the staff and parents strive to achieve a number of goals including providing a Catholic education which presents Christ as a model to be followed, developing each individual spiritually, academically, physically, socially, emotionally and culturally, encouraging the enjoyment of life through the pursuit of personal excellence and enhancing personal dignity and respect for others. The school aims to prepare students so that they see themselves as agents of change in an ever changing environment. We also recognise the role and rights of parents and teachers as the co-educators of their children. The school has a well resourced Early Childhood Centre and specialist staff in music, physical education, Italian and Library and an extension program for selected students from Year 3 to Year 6. Literacy and numeracy development is also a strong focus at the school. There is active encouragement of parental involvement in many different ways.
