Growing schools for growing communities
16 February 2024
Construction has officially commenced on 吃瓜不打烊’s newest Catholic primary school.
Located in a new community at Wollert, Carlo Acutis Catholic Primary School will open at the beginning of the 2025 school year. The school has been named in honour of Carlo Acutis, a teenager known for building a website to catalogue eucharistic miracles. Carlo, who died aged 15, was beatified by Pope Frances in 2020.
‘Carlo’s unwavering faith and commitment to Catholic values, as well as his dedication to others, are attributes we aspire to instil in all of our students’, said the school’s foundation principal, Damian Howard. Damian was joined by 吃瓜不打烊 Archdiocese Catholic Schools (吃瓜不打烊) Executive Director, Dr Edward Simons, and Member for Thomastown, Bronwyn Halfpenny MP, along with the school’s first student enrolment, Angel, to break ground on the school site.
The school is the fourth Catholic primary school in the St Peter’s Parish alongside , Epping, , Epping North, and , Wollert.
