A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
On behalf of our school community, I welcome you to our school website. Our Lady Help of Christians is a Foundation to Year 6 Parish Primary school set in the grounds of our parish in Gillies Street, Wendouree. Our school serves the areas of Wendouree, Miner’s Rest, Lexton, Waubra, Learmonth and surrounds. I am in the privileged position to lead our school.
Our Lady Help of Christians works collaboratively as a ‘Professional Learning Community’ where the children are at the centre of all we do and the decisions we make to support learning. As a ‘School Wide Positive Behaviour School’ our school mantra ‘Respectful, Responsible and Resilient’ permeates through each interaction, every day. These 3 values are shared by our entire community and form the basis of our Social and Emotional Learning Programs. We are blessed to have an active and enthusiastic School Community Team and a School Advisory Council, who work alongside our staff team, to support the children of our school. Jesus said, ‘I have come that you may have life and live it to the full.’ (John 10:10) Parents are the first and foremost educators of their children and it is with this in mind that we promote a united approach to the education of each child. Our dedicated staff, through their own Christian witness and professionalism, provide a caring and supportive atmosphere which respects the dignity of each child, fosters a genuine love of God, and motivates all children to be contributing members of our school and wider community. Please contact our school office for enrolment information and to make a time to meet with me for a tour of our school. Leigh Bradshaw Principal |
