St Lukes Catholic Primary School

Adelaide Schools introduces St Lukes Catholic Primary School in Woodvale, for all your education and learning needs.

St Luke’s is a Catholic community dedicated to learning. Here you will find an optimistic, vibrant and inclusive school. We value the gifts and contributions of students, staff and parents. All people here are treated with respect. Each member of the St Luke’s school community has an important part in bringing our vision to reality. We live by values drawn from the writings of St Luke and through them we are an expression in the world of God’s redeeming love. In our time here we remain attentive to the sacredness of the present moment.

This is a place of courage where everyone can give voice to their aspirations and concerns. Our relationships are marked by empathy and trust. The adults here are strong and conscious role models. In this place power is always at the service of the people. We take risks and so sometimes we make mistakes. We learn their lessons and move on stronger. Laughter is heard here often and we celebrate our success. People here are passionate in their advocacy of depth in learning and in the pursuit of a more just world. We know that the dignity of our work is that we touch the future through and for our children and that tomorrow is being built today.

Our physical environments reflect the strength and vibrancy of our people and relationships. Like us they are colourful and active and often surprising. We value balance in our lives and this is respected in our expectations of others. We seek opportunities for personal and professional development in the knowledge that what we do for our growth, we do also for our students

Our students are encouraged to be active learners. They are taught to reflect critically and to be creatively engaged in their own learning. Thinking skills are explicitly taught in all classes. Our learning experiences are rich and diverse, with emphasis put on worthwhile processes and products. Students are supported in their learning by appropriate technology and challenged to engage with the world beyond our immediate boundaries. We research the best educational practice in order to enhance our teaching.

The school belongs to all of us. Everyone is called to leadership here and to be involved in decision making. Together we create a dynamic and integrated learning environment aimed at the formation of the whole child. We aim to inspire, to dream and to build the confidence of all members of the St Luke’s community. We are a place of living witness to the power and truth of our Christian faith.
