Why Choose Catholic Education

Christ lies at the heart of St James' curriculum. We provide our students with a unique faith-based educational experience.

Choosing the best education for your child is one of the most important decisions for a parent. We all desire a schooling experience for our children that not only provides them with exceptional educational opportunities but also nurtures the whole human person.

Choosing a Catholic school will provide your child with a unique educational and Faith experience that seeks to form them into young people of faith, hope, purpose and joy. Our school supports each child to develop a commitment to the core values of the Faith;

  • Love of God
  • An opportunity for a personal encounter with Jesus Christ
  • Love and service to others
  • Integrity, goodness and truth.

As a Catholic school, we are a Christ-centred community built on a commitment to the Gospel. We seek to serve the Gospel by accompanying young people in such a way that they may experience the 'fullness of life' (John 10:10) in learning and living well.

What you are seeking from an educational experience for your child may be;

  • Diverse learning opportunities
  • A commitment to the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical care of each child
  • A place of belonging.

These can all be found at St James'.
