Immaculate Heart of Mary is a Catholic co-educational primary school in the inner western suburbs of Adelaide. We strive to promote personal excellence for all in our community. This goal is underpinned by a focus on the values and traditions that are drawn from Heart Spirituality, a commitment to provide a holistic education and a desire to support the development of skills and knowledge required for today and the future. Our school values diverse ways of teaching and learning and is continually searching for better ways to promote and assist learning. This is supported by the major priority we place on staff professional development. Being a relatively small school, we provide a more personal teaching and learning environment, where each child's talents and needs are addressed. This support is enabled by a range of learning structures and actions that are founded in contemporary research. Our relationships with the diversity of families who are a part of our community are supported by our priority for justice, inclusivity and connectedness. Our caring school environment provides students with the opportunity to participate, to show leadership and to develop in a holistic way.
