St Agnes is a Catholic primary school in Highett, located in the southern suburbs of Melbourne, and enrols over 160 students from the Highett Parish boundaries. St Agnes' was registered as a school in 1951 and has been located on its present site since 1954. St Agnes' has undertaken a significant building project with a refurbished hall, new library and technology areas, and extensive grounds work. Our school focuses strongly on being a faith community where we encourage all within our care to grow in their relationship with Christ and others. There is an emphasis on respect for others, a responsibility for self and social justice. Environmental sustainability practices are valued at St Agnes' and are linked directly to the curriculum. Effective teaching and learning practices are a priority. The wellbeing of students is paramount and there is an effective pastoral care system. St Agnes' takes pride in the physical education, Italian, performing arts and music programs. We greatly value the vibrant parental support that enhances learning opportunities and we have established close links with community groups.
