St Clare's Primary School is a medium-sized Catholic school in Thomastown West in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. We maintain a strong commitment to the values of our Patron St Clare. We foster the values of courage, resilience, hopefulness, determination, compassion and humility by embracing Clare's story. Approximately three quarters of our families speak a language other than English and come from diverse cultural backgrounds. At St Clare's we celebrate our differences and value the things that we share in common, such as our faith, our stories and our citizenship. We provide many opportunities, quality programs and state-of-the-art resources to enable our students to develop into the best people they can be. We offer ITC, Italian, and Visual Arts as specialist programs. We implement an inquiry-based approach to learning, which encourages curiosity and investigation into the world around us. The well-being of students and their families is our chief priority. Therefore programs and processes are in place to support this and the school employs a Wellbeing Co-ordinator who oversees all activities in this area. Our parent community is closely involved with school activities.
