Stella Maris Catholic Primary School is located in Shellharbour Village within the parish of All Saints, Shellharbour City. The school's motto is Faith, Hope and Charity. The school has a vision Statement, Reverence the Story of All People, with sixteen core values which underpin the teaching and ethos of the school. All children are encouraged and supported in striving to reach their full potential. This occurs in a caring and safe environment where children can enjoy learning, interact with others and develop knowledge and skills which will help them in the future. Throughout 2010 our professional development program has focused on improving our teaching of literacy and numeracy. As well as a quality teaching program, the students at Stella Maris are offered a wide range of extra curricula activities such as annual school camp, sports gala days, public speaking, ches competition and many other activities. In the spirit of Mary Aikenhead, the founder of the Sisters of Charity, social justice activities continue to be a priority. Regular activities are Caritas, St Vincent de Paul and other local charities. Our outreach program supports the work of St Vincent de Paul, the parish care group and Warilla RSL Sub Branch .
