St James Catholic Primary School is committed not only to the academic growth of students but also to their emotional and spiritual development. We plan for learning in an inclusive and safe environment where high quality Catholic Education is consistently delivered with an emphasis on improving learning outcomes for all children. This is why we hold our students at the centre of all decision making.
Our experienced and nurturing staff are passionate educators who work towards all children reaching their full potential by providing engaging and individualised learning experiences. We have a strong focus on student wellbeing, fostering teamwork, resilience and confidence.
We recognise parents as the first and foremost educators of their child, who, before students have even begun school have learnt to be curious, ask questions and investigate their world. They have learnt from their parents the importance of being responsible, respectful and safe. At St James we strive to continue this work and partner closely with parents to further build on this solid foundation, focusing on the development and promotion of the whole child.
This year we implemented the Resilience Project which staff, students and families have really valued. Students speak about moments of gratitude in their day, practice mindfulness and understand the importance of empathy for others.
Excursions are also highly valued, with our whole school recently visiting the Royal Melbourne Zoo to kick start their biological sciences unit of learning. It was a great day with lots of stories shared.
We are currently taking enrolments for 2026 for all year levels and conducting school tours. Please contact 5942 5404 or office@stjamesnng.catholic.edu.au to arrange a school tour with our Principal, Bec Kollaris.
