Welcome to the online home of St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School Creswick! As the Principal of this dynamic and nurturing educational community, I am delighted to introduce you to our school and share what makes St Augustine’s a unique place for learning and growth.
At St Augustine’s, we are deeply committed to the holistic development of our students, focusing not just on academic excellence, but also on their social and emotional well-being. Our educational philosophy is rooted in the Science of Learning, a pedagogical approach that combines research-based strategies to enhance student learning and retention. We believe in fostering a love for learning by creating an engaging, supportive, and intellectually stimulating environment where each student can thrive.
In addition to our robust academic program, we place a strong emphasis on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). We understand that students’ emotional intelligence and well-being are crucial for their overall success and happiness. Our SEL initiatives help students develop essential skills such as empathy, resilience, self-awareness, and effective communication. These skills are integrated into daily activities and lessons, ensuring that our students grow into well-rounded, emotionally intelligent individuals.
We are also proud to offer a comprehensive support system for our students, including the invaluable services of a school psychologist. Our psychologist works closely with students, parents, and teachers to provide tailored support and interventions, ensuring that every student receives the care and guidance they need.
St Augustine’s Creswick boasts a variety of specialist programs designed to enrich our students’ educational experience. Our Science program sparks curiosity and encourages analytical thinking through hands-on experiments and inquiry-based learning. In our Art classes, students explore their creativity and develop their artistic skills in a supportive environment. The Japanese language program offers students a window into a new culture and language, enhancing their global awareness and linguistic abilities.
Our Performing Arts program provides students with opportunities to express themselves through drama, music, and dance, fostering confidence and artistic talent. Additionally, our Physical Education program promotes physical fitness, teamwork, and a healthy lifestyle through a wide range of sports and activities.
At St Augustine’s Creswick, we are dedicated to providing an education that prepares students for the challenges of the future while nurturing their individual strengths and interests. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, values, and the vibrant community that makes our school so special.
