Principal’s Welcome

Michelle Worcester – Principal of St Philip’s Catholic Primary School

Welcome To St Philip’s Catholic Primary School

Welcome to our school. St Philip’s is a small school, yet we are a vibrant community. We are situated in beautiful, expansive grounds that offer a calm and safe environment in Blackburn North.

From the moment you set foot in our school you will experience our welcome and inclusive community where everyone is known and nurtured.

The teachings of Jesus Christ are infused in all that we do at St Philip’s, and the gospel values of love, forgiveness, truth and justice are experienced in the daily life of our school.

At St Philip’s our children are at the centre of school life. As educators we strive to develop their academic, spiritual, physical and social and emotional learning. We promote opportunities for every child to learn respect for self, the other, and the environment.

Our inclusive and rigorous curriculum endeavours to equip our students with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to contribute to the world. Our approach to teaching is based on our ongoing collaborative use of data. Our teaching is future focused and our students are involved in the planning of their learning to ensure it is relevant to their lives.

We strive to develop our students’ critical and creative thinking and problem solving skills to allow them to be active citizens in our ever changing society.

Our commitment to child safety underpins everything we do at St Philip’s. We provide a secure learning environment where our students know they are supported through our school and family partnership.

We pride ourselves on our parent and family engagement. Families are involved and engaged in all aspects of school life, from the day to day activities, supporting learning in the classroom, and membership on the School Advisory Council and the Parents and Friends Committee.
