OUR SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Carers,

I warmly welcome you and your family to the St Joan of Arc School community. As Principal, I look forward to working in partnership with you to support your child’s learning, wellbeing and growth. It is my hope that every child experiences our school as a happy, welcoming and secure place, one that nurtures curiosity, confidence and a genuine love of learning.

In a world that is constantly changing, the close-knit and inclusive nature of our school allows us to truly know each child and their family. This enables us to support their academic, social, emotional and spiritual development, equipping them with the skills, values and resilience needed for the future.

We believe education is most powerful when schools and families work together. We value the learning that begins at home and recognise parents as children’s first and most important educators. When children see strong partnerships between home and school, grounded in shared beliefs, values and goals, they feel secure, connected and purposeful in their learning.

At St Joan of Arc, our Religious Education program sits at the heart of school life. In a positive and supportive environment, students are encouraged to develop a strong sense of self, deepen their faith, and grow in respect for the values and beliefs of others.

We are committed to promoting the spiritual, personal and academic growth of every student. This is achieved through a rich and rigorous program that includes academic learning, sport, the arts and extra-curricular experiences. As a learning community, we strive for excellence through collaboration, shared goals and continuous improvement. Our teachers model a love of learning and a commitment to evidence-based professional growth.

Being Principal of St Joan of Arc is both a privilege and a joy. I look forward to building strong relationships with our families and working closely with our dedicated staff to ensure every child is supported to flourish.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school. I look forward to welcoming you and your family to the St Joan of Arc School community.

Warm regards,

Simon Collis
