Principal’s Message
History
In 1953, the Mt Pritchard Catholic school was opened, and was known as St Peter’s Primary School. Due to the increase in population, in 1960, Mt Pritchard became a separate parish. A proper Catholic Church was opened in 1962 next to the school. By 1963, the name of the parish and the school had been changed to Our Lady of Mt Carmel Catholic Primary School Mt Pritchard. Since this date, the original church and school have been replaced by modern facilities.
Charism
The staff in 1953, consisted of two sisters from Sisters of Charity and they have continued to have an active involvement in the development of the school. We are proud of our deep connection to the Sisters of Charity and we aspire to share the love, tenderness, and concern of Christ with all whom we meet, seeing Christ in everyone.
Mission
Inspired by our motto ‘strong in faith’ and in partnership with our parents and parish community, our commitment is to:
- educate our students in Catholic beliefs, values, practices and traditions, show them the face of Jesus and nurture their relationship with God
- provide quality education that challenges and supports our students to strive for excellence
- value and respect the dignity and uniqueness of each child
