St Bernadette's Primary School is a Catholic school under the pastoral care of the Paulist Missionaries. It is located in North Sunshine in the west of Melbourne. Our school motto 'God Loves Us, Let Us Love God' speaks of the school community commitment to one another and to living as Christians. St Bernadette's children come from the local parish and surrounding community. We pride ourselves on our multicultural diversity and we encourage respect and acceptance of all. The school was founded in 1957 under the leadership care of the Augustinian Sisters, Servants of Jesus and Mary and there are still members of the Order who are active in both the school and parish community. Our mission and vision affirm the importance of a secure, safe and stimulating environment for all members of the community. We provide a curriculum that is contemporary and responds to the needs of the whole child: socially, emotionally, academically, physically and spiritually. Our specialist programs - Music, Art, Physical Education and Languages complement and enhance our core curriculum program of English, Maths and Religious Education. Information and communication technology is fully integrated into the learning and teaching program across all curriculum and levels from Prep to Grade 6. As a school we are currently focussed and committed to developing our home-school partnerships in order to improve learning outcomes for the children of St. Bernadette's.
