Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to the St Leonard’s Catholic Primary School Website. I trust that the information contained in these pages will be sufficient to give you an insight into the overall structure of the school and the set of guiding principles by which we operate.

St Leonard’s Catholic Primary School is dedicated to fostering a safe, nurturing, and supportive educational environment for all our students. We strive to create a learning atmosphere that is inviting, secure, and inclusive, where children, parents, and staff collaborate to care for and encourage each individual’s growth. We are committed to ensuring that the necessary educational resources and facilities are available to enrich this learning experience.

We believe it is our duty to care for everyone in our community and uphold the principles of social justice by promoting Gospel values. We pledge to offer a learning environment that is both academically and technologically advanced, giving students the opportunity to thrive in their pursuit of excellence.

Our school places great emphasis on literacy and numeracy skills, underpinned by an inquiry-based approach to learning. We are equally focused on meeting the needs of every student, particularly those requiring additional educational support. This is achieved through the efforts of our student support team and the collaborative work of the teaching staff at all levels.

We recognise and value each member of our school community, and we are committed to supporting and challenging them to realise their full potential – spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. Our goal is to help develop each student’s sense of self-worth, foster a love of learning, and instil optimism about the future. We celebrate the rich cultural and social diversity within our school and wider society, encouraging students to develop a deeper understanding, respect, and acceptance of others.

It is a great honour to serve as Principal of this school, working alongside a team of skilled, dedicated, and generous staff members. The support they offer one another and the strong sense of teamwork they cultivate are key to achieving positive outcomes for all students in our care.

Regards,

Angela Foale
Acting Principal
