It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the St Jerome’s Primary School website. Thank you for taking the time to explore our wonderful story and I hope that it offers you a window to our welcoming community and the many educational opportunities we can provide for your child.
Our school is situated right next to the beautiful parish church of St Jerome’s – Spearwood and we are able to regularly celebrate Mass in the church. Our Catholic faith is taught in every class according to the religious education guidelines for West Australian Catholic schools.
The Vision Statement emphasizes our aim that St Jerome’s be a place where the Gospel message is brought alive by our words and actions. To achieve this we need the commitment of everyone in the school community: staff, parents and students. The more successful we are in this, the more we will make Jesus “visible” to the children and help them grow in faith.
Deciding on the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions parents will make. St Jerome’s has been meeting the spiritual, educational and pastoral needs of young people since 1935.
Our school has a warm, friendly Christian environment where we challenge our students to develop all their potential in a challenging, stimulating, secure atmosphere in the care of a very dedicated and highly professional staff.
We acknowledge the vitally important role of parents. We value parents and carers as the prime educators of their children. We especially welcome parental collaboration in decision making and our school Board and P&F are both excellent avenues for parental involvement.
We want parents to be our partners in the education of your precious children. The very best outcomes are achieved when the school and the family work as a united team.
We appreciate help in the classrooms, with special events, fundraising, working bees etc. We hope that parents will feel a part of our school through this interest, personal involvement and co-operation. We aim to support and encourage each other. This co-operative relationship, based on Jesus as our model, will ensure that all the children in this school grow up in a secure and caring environment.
I look forward to sharing a very positive partnership with you as parents and I trust that the result will be that your child will be both happy and successful here at St Jerome’s.
Yours sincerely
Helen O’Toole
Principal
