Principal's Welcome

Welcome to St Clare of Assisi Primary School.

As Principal, it is my great privilege to lead a school community that is vibrant, inclusive, and deeply committed to the wellbeing and growth of every child. At St Clare of Assisi, we believe that education is not only about academic achievement. It is also about nurturing hearts, building character, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning.

Rooted in Catholic faith and values, our school provides a safe and supportive environment where students are encouraged to be curious, courageous, and compassionate. While we are proudly a Catholic school, we warmly welcome families of all faiths or none. Every child is valued, respected, and supported, regardless of background or belief.

Our dedicated teachers bring a wealth of experience and passion to their work. Through high-impact teaching practices and embedding the Science of Learning into all curriculum areas, we strive to ensure every child is challenged, supported, and celebrated. We value the unique gifts of each student and aim to foster their growth across all areas including spiritual, academic, social, and emotional development.

Inspired by the example of St Clare, we encourage our students to “Be the Light” in all they do. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or in the wider community, we teach our children to act with kindness, lead with integrity, and embrace challenges with resilience.

I invite you to explore our website and discover the many ways our school supports and celebrates each child’s journey. Whether you are a current family, a prospective parent, or a visitor, we hope you feel the warmth and welcome of our school community.

Warm regards,
Matt Egan-Richards
