St Matthew's Catholic Primary School exists to promote the development of the total person by integrating faith, love and life experiences. It emphasises the central place of Jesus Christ and builds a Christian atmosphere where Gospel values are encouraged and upheld. In the spirit of Mary MacKillop and the Josephite Sisters, it aims to provide a holistic education wherein each child's true potential can be developed through academic achievement incorporating spiritual, social, intellectual and physical growth.
Thereby, we strive to live by our motto of:
Faith, Knowledge and Love
ENGAGED AND MOTIVATED LEARNERS,
ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO OUR LOVING GOD
EVERY CHILD, EVERY DAY
The St Matthew's logo includes the following symbols:
- the bible and cross to represent faith and knowledge,
- the green leaf for environmental sustainability
- three human characters to represent the families in our school community.
- the brown roof to show that everybody belongs under the one roof.
The four house colours were included in the design. Brown represents the Sisters of St Joseph.
