St Joachim's School opened in 1987. It is a Catholic primary school, belonging to the St Anne's Parish,situated in the growing south-eastern suburbs of Carrum Downs. It is a school that continues to flourish with its school population now being approximately 360. The facilities have consistently responded to the needs of students and educational priorities. This is reflected in all classrooms, utilising interactive technology, three computer labs and purpose-built art, music and physical education facilities. St Joachim's strives to pay constant and careful attention to cultivating in students the intellectual, creative, and aesthetic faculties of the human person. We aim to develop in our students the ability to make correct use of their judgment and to effectively promote in themsleves a sense of values and just attitudes. The friendly interchange among students and staff creates the positive and friendly learning environment that exists in our school. We constantly strive to improve and be the best school of choice for the families of our parish and community by focusing on strong leadership and what matters most.
