History:
Our dynamic new learning environment opened for the school year on 6 February 2006. We began life as 'Point Cook West Catholic Primary School'. After taking nominations for an official school name from our new community, we undertook a voting process and named our school 'Stella Maris Catholic Primary School' (Star of the Sea).
Our Vision is:
'Creating a learning community,
nurturing faith and life,
in a spirit of openness.'
Description:
Stella Maris Catholic Primary School has been established as the fourth school in the Parish of Laverton. As a Catholic school, we provide education in faith and encourage our families to work in partnership with our school and parish.
Today's educational environment needs to prepare students for a world in which work, society, community and personal relationships are of equal importance. It is a world in which work, ideas and the economy are constantly changing, in which technology plays a major part, and which is increasingly influenced by international events.
Our school therefore has its basis in an inquiry approach to learning and teaching that will endeavour to empower the students to be lifelong learners. We strongly believe that parents are partners in the learning journey of their children and look forward to developing many links with our new community at Point Cook West.
Our school has been planned and built to provide an innovative environment where today's educational requirements can be met. The main features are:
鈥� Student work areas that are open and flexible
鈥� Wireless technology: immediate access in any location
鈥� Easy access to the outdoor learning areas
鈥� Space provided for performing arts and visual arts
鈥� Large community gathering spaces
鈥� An environmentally friendly school.
