Feast Day of our Patron Saint

11 August is a time of celebration and excitement at St Clare’s School as this is the Feast Day of our Patron Saint.

This year was even more special as it was the first time the school had been together since COVID to celebrate this special day.

Students began the day with a Prayer Service followed by activities that highlighted the life of St Clare. African Drummers provided entertainment and fun for students and teachers with their singing, dancing and beating.

A school disco coordinated by the Parents and Friends provided a further opportunity for the school to celebrate together.

Celebrating Mass together at the Parish Church followed by pizza is the culminating event for our St Clare’s Feast Day celebrations.

At St Clare’s we nurture the holistic development of each child. For the St Clare’s family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education; but so is Religious Education – developing empathy, social justice and a strong moral compass. We encourage active play and healthy bodies; understanding other cultures through learning languages; and the confidence that comes with developing creativity through the performing and visual arts.

Student achievement is measured not only by academic growth but by each child’s emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. Being part of faith-filled community instils our students with a sense of identity, a feeling of belonging and above all, a powerful sense of self-worth.

At St Clare’s our aim is to have each child reach their potential; to be a well-rounded individual – within a supportive and caring learning environment.
