Danny Malone - Principal
Dear Parents / Friends
Welcome to the Mater Dei Catholic Primary School website. Whether you are an existing parent or an interested onlooker, we hope you find our website is informative and reflective of our school.
Here at Mater Dei, we work in partnership with parents and clergy to provide an environment that fosters your child’s development and meet their educational needs. We work to provide a holistic education, one that develops your child spiritually, academically. Socially, physically and emotionally, in a community that is underpinned by Gospel values.
Catholic beliefs are taught and our faith is experienced, witnessed and shared so that we can assist all students in their faith journey. Our school is an integral part of the Sacred Heart Parish, Kooringal and we work very closely with parents and parish priest, Father Bernie Thomas, to give each child the opportunity to experience the fullness of their faith. Whilst learning about, and living, our faith are paramount to us, we also respect other faith traditions.
High expectations are set for student learning and there is a deep belief and resolve that each student be given the opportunity to achieve to the best of their ability through appropriate and sensitive teaching. Students are encouraged to accept responsibility for their own learning and to become life-long learners.
At Mater Dei, you will find a school community comprising dedicated staff, interested and involved parents and students who are proud of their achievements and their school. We provide well resourced classrooms, expansive play areas and a good selection of extra curricula activities.
As Principal of our school, I see my role as working with all stakeholders to ensure we establish and maintain a culture of learning in the context of a Catholic School. It is my goal to provide an environment where children feel safe, supported and one in which they are happy in their learning.
Please feel free to further investigate our website to learn about our school. If you require more information or clarification, do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Danny Malone
