WELCOME
Our Lady's Primary School Surrey Hills
Our Lady’s school is a place where, not only your child, but your whole family will be welcomed and valued as members of our community. At Our Lady’s we are acutely aware of the privilege it is to be invited into the educative process of your child. We recognize that your child is a special gift given to you, and now you are inviting and entrusting us to enter into a partnership with you, to guide and support their growth as a person along with their academic learning.
We believe in the infinite potential of each child and that it is our duty to provide a rich, challenging and relevant curriculum in a supportive and caring environment that will equip your child with the skills, knowledge and capabilities to confidently and happily live in our contemporary world.
The first thing that people notice when they visit our school is the warmth and confidence of the students they meet as they walk around the grounds. Our students are inquisitive, interested and present. They are always keen to engage and their warmth is ever present.
We enjoy a strong reputation for the excellent pastoral care of our students. Our staff are wonderful role models who value the dignity and worth of each and every student and strive to create a positive learning environment in which the personal needs of all students are catered for. Students are encouraged to seek personal excellence and challenged to discover and develop their talents not only for themselves but in the service of others.
We have so much to be thankful for in terms of those who have worked, learned, and grown in our school before us, and our school will always be indebted to their graciousness and commitment. The school moves forward with great confidence and an eagerness to discover what the future holds.
With the Staff of Our Lady’s School, I look forward to coming to know your child and trust that your association with our community will be a happy and positive experience for your whole family.

Melbourne Ardiocease Of Catholic School: Governance Statement
Our Lady’s Primary School is a school that operates with the consent of the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne and is operated and governed by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS). MACS governs and operates 292 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese to continue the mission of Catholic education to proclaim the Good News and equip our young people with the knowledge, skills and hope to live meaningful lives and enrich the world around them. Because the good work of educating the young is a co-responsible task led by every member of the Catholic school community, School Advisory Councils have been established to provide a crucial point of connection between the wider school community and school leaders. This governance model was designed to ease the administrative burden on our schools and parishes, allow parish priests to focus on the mission of education in the parish, enable greater collaboration between schools and ensure greater consistency in school policies and procedures. More information on MACS is available at macs.vic.edu.au.
