St Martin’s Catholic Primary School is a systemic parish primary school situated in the North Eastern suburb of Greenacres. It was opened in 1964 by the Sisters of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, welcoming families from the local community and those who had recently migrated to Australia. We are committed to maintaining links with our founding sisters and their charism of welcoming all to our community. We strive to keep the ‘spirituality of the heart’ at the core of our mission, with our motto being, Loving to learn – Learning to love. The school community is reflective of our multicultural society and we pride ourselves on nurturing a culture of mutual respect. We work earnestly to give witness to our mission of building a vibrant and caring community based on our core values of; Respect, Acceptance, Safety, Responsibility, Honesty, Pride and Friendliness. Our Vision is to build a school where the life of Jesus is at the heart of the spiritual development of the whole community and we aim to provide the best possible opportunities and environments to encourage successful lifelong learning. We value continuous and collaborative learning where children, teachers and families interact to build a lively, faith filled learning community. We strive to develop the full potential of each student and we respect and value the unique character, interest, gifts and abilities of all individuals. We are committed to the notion of continuous improvement. Teachers strive to provide feedback to students, involve students in their own learning and adjust teaching practices to take account of student needs. Assessment for Learning guides us as educators to make informed decisions about our teaching and helps us to improve student learning. Data gained from student assessments, including both school based and NAPLAN are analyzed, and information gained is used to assist students in their learning and to inform teachers in regards to curriculum development and their own professional learning.
