St Oliver Plunkett School serves the Catholic families of Cannon Hill, Morningside, Tingalpa and parts of Belmont and Carina. This parish based school, founded by the Presentation Sisters, is located just off Wynnum Rd at Cannon Hill. We enrol students from Prep Year to Yr. 7 responding to the growing needs of our parish and local community, and have a current enrolment of approximately 500 students. Our School Motto is - Justice and Truth; these two core values underpin all our relationships and interactions. Our Vision is to be a welcoming, respectful and compassionate community within a Catholic Christian environment, committed to excellence. We endeavour to live our commitment to excellence, truth and justice through teaching the beliefs, practices and values of the Catholic faith and celebrating these through our liturgies, assemblies and day to day interactions with each other. Our Mission is achieved by providing quality educational programs including specialist music, art, Japanese, dance and water polo sessions. We strive to support the individual and communal learning needs of students, fostering an open welcoming interaction between families and school, inviting contribution and involvement with each other in a respectful, caring and appropriate manner, and liaising with community and systemic organisations to build productive partnerships. Some unique features of our school are that students come from over thirty different countries and our challenge is to meet their cultural, physical, emotional, intellectual and religious needs. Community involvement includes participating in local festivals, performing for parish seniors, and supporting various welfare agencies; a parish-based outside school Hours Care programme; a comprehensive sports and Phys Ed programme which features a strong culture of class and competitive dance and a very active and supportive Parents and Friends Association.
