History:

St Catherine's Primary School was established in 1983 under the principalship of Sr Margaret McKenna, a member of the Sisters of Mercy, as the second school in the parish of St Clare's, Thomastown West.

From its inception, it was seen as a community school and this important feature has continued to be nurtured. Our current enrolment is 152 students with 60% of our families coming from a language background other that English.

St Catherine's Primary School is situated approximately 15 kilometres north of ³Ô¹Ï²»´òìÈ in Lalor West, on 1.3 hectares.

The grounds consist of large grassed and treed areas with small asphalt areas. St Catherine's has attractive landscaped gardens, 2 adventure playgrounds, basketball court and passive play areas.
