St Thomas' Primary School Claremont, is a vibrant, single stream, co-educational Catholic school for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year Six. Founded in 1909 by the Presentation Sisters, the school has a proud tradition of being part of a strong and nurturing community with an excellent reputation for providing a challenging and academically diverse environment for its students. The school mission to “educate the whole child” is achieved through not only our strong Religious Education and academic programs, but also the variety and depth of our liturgical and extra-curricula programs. Specialist programs in Visual Arts, Languages (Italian), Physical Education, ICT and Music, support the rich education available. St Thomas' is part of the National Partnership Program (NPP) and is focused on improving outcomes in literacy and numeracy for all children. This includes an extension program together with Reading Recovery and Numeracy Intervention for students requiring support. As expressed in our motto "Together in Christ", the school thrives on a whole school approach and commitment to collaborative processes, enjoying the excellent good-will and support of St Thomas the Apostle Parish, Parish Priest, School Board and Parents and Friends Association.
