Welcome to St James Primary School
On behalf of the St James Primary School community, I extend a heartfelt welcome to you.
Situated in the beautiful surrounds of Banora Point, St James Primary is a Christ-centred learning community committed to providing a high-quality Catholic education. Inspired by the words of Jesus, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10), we nurture the spiritual, academic, emotional and social development of every child, ensuring they grow in faith and knowledge within a supportive and caring environment.
Our Catholic identity is at the heart of all we do. Through Gospel values, prayer, and active discipleship, we encourage our students to respond to God’s call in their daily lives and embrace their emerging role in society with confidence and compassion.
At St James, we offer a rich and engaging curriculum guided by the Diocese of Lismore’s Fullness of Life Framework, designed to develop independence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Our contemporary learning spaces foster both independent and collaborative learning, where students are empowered to reach their full potential in partnership with parents, pastors, and our wider parish community.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the joyful journey of faith and learning that defines St James Primary. If you are considering enrolling your child, please contact our school office—we would be delighted to welcome your family into our community.
Sincerely,
Nicholas McTaggart
Principal
