OUR SCHOOL
OUR VISION
St. Joan of Arc is a Catholic parish primary school located in the Bayside suburb of Brighton. We are a family-oriented community, which works together to create an inclusive atmosphere striving to inspire excellence.
The community of St. Joan of Arc aims to:
Lead children to know that faith is at the centre of our learning and to foster a love of God through prayer, relationships, Catholic traditions, connection with parish and through living out our school motto ‘Faith in Action’.
Develop relationships that are influenced by the values promoted by Jesus in the Gospels, which reflect our contemporary Catholic beliefs.
Staff are committed to recognizing individual needs, ensuring the opportunity for each child to develop their maximum potential: socially, emotionally, academically, spiritually, creatively and physically.
Provide a learning environment that is safe, recognises the partnerships between parents and staff, where wellbeing is nurtured, differences respected and where a sense of welcome and acceptance extends through the school.
Inspire, empower and support all members of our school community to be leaders and learners, sharing the responsibility to improve student learning through innovative, collaborative and creative practice.
Develop, value and foster positive relationships between students, parents, teachers, families, parish and the broader community.
Prepare children to be critical thinkers for participation in an ever-changing Australian society and global community.
