Thank you for considering Saint Paul’s Primary School Kealba, the small school with a big heart, for your child’s education. As a proud and aspirational Catholic learning community within the parish of St. Mary of the Assumption, we offer a comprehensive curriculum imbued with the Gospel messages of love, acceptance, and a lived appreciation of faith. Inspired by our patron saint’s words, “We can do all things with Christ who strengthens us,” our rich Religious Education Program supports students in coming to know, worship, and love their faith. At Saint Paul’s, we recognise that every child is a unique individual, capable of achieving their absolute best in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.
Guided by the wisdom that it takes a whole village to raise a child, we place immense value on a strong, two-way partnership between home and school. Parents and guardians are a child’s first educators, and our dedicated, passionate staff team works closely with families to support the dreams and aspirations you hold for your children. Student wellbeing and safety are our highest priorities. This commitment is actively lived out through our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Framework and our strict Statement of Commitment to Child Safety, ensuring that every child feels happy, safe, valued, and fully open to learning.
Our academic programs are underpinned by the Victorian Curriculum and enriched by the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools’ (MACS) frameworks for instruction, engagement, and leadership. We understand that every child learns in different ways and at their own pace, which is why we personalise our learning plans to cater to individual needs, echoing our School Essence Statement: “Like Christ, we believe in valuing each individual for who they are and who they can be.” If you wish to apply for enrolment, please complete the Enrolment Application form. We encourage you to call our office with any questions, and we truly look forward to welcoming your family into our school community.
Peace,
Mr Patrick Pantalone
Principal
