School History & Details

1909: The story begins with the establishment of the school as an extension of Devonport Primary School. Its initial location wasn't the current one, but it served the growing community's need for affordable Catholic education.
1910: The school found its permanent home, boasting two classrooms and a porch. Over the years, it witnessed extensions, renovations, and modernizations, evolving into the welcoming space it is today.
1918: The original motto, "He who does well does his best," reflected the emphasis on individual effort and striving for excellence. This later evolved into the more inclusive and gender-neutral "Those who do their best do well," embodying the school's commitment to supporting all students in reaching their full potential.
2013: A crucial shift occurred as the school transitioned to cater specifically to Years 0-6, offering a dedicated focus on the foundational years of education. This allows for personalized learning and nurturing a strong sense of community among younger students.
