Learning at St. Augustine’s Catholic School is based on the person of Jesus Christ and our School’s mission is to share the Gospel values with our children, led by a professional learning community of teachers who aim to create a school environment that is learning enriched, community oriented and child-centred.
Our School is named after St. Augustine (354-430) who was bishop of the Roman Province of Hippo in North Africa and is remembered as a great preacher, teacher and writer. St. Augustine taught that the best way to Christ is through Scriptures. St Augustines Catholic School continues to inspire our children to discover Augustine’s invitation to take up the Scriptures and read them.
The Brigidine Sisters began teaching children in the Parish hall in 1902. Our school is dedicated to the Brigidine heritage and the Brigidine Sisters who taught at St. Augustines Catholic School. The Brigidine Cross, woven from rushes, is customarily placed above an entrance door as a sign of welcome and hospitality. At its heart is the lamp of learning encased in a circle symbolising oneness with God.
Our School vision and mission encapsulate both the welcome and hospitality of the Brigidine Religious Order and the life-long learning of St. Augustine.
The current population of the school is 252 pupils who are educated across 12 classrooms.
