Welcome to St Brendan’s Catholic Primary School Annandale.
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of our vibrant and nurturing community at St Brendan’s Catholic Primary School. Our school holds dear to our motto: ‘Inspiring hearts and minds – one child at a time’. This motto encapsulates our commitment to fostering both the happiness and intellectual growth of every student who walks through our doors.
At St Brendan’s, we believe that happiness is fundamental to the learning journey. We strive to empower our students, ensuring they feel valued, cared for, and excited about their educational experience. Our goal is to create an environment where learning is not only enjoyable but also deeply fulfilling.
We are dedicated to instilling a Growth Mindset in all our students. Through innovative teaching practices and individualised support, we aim to unlock each child’s full potential. Our passionate team of educators works tirelessly to provide a stimulating learning environment where curiosity is encouraged, and a love for lifelong learning is nurtured.
Grounded in our Catholic faith and the teachings of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, the Sisters of St Joseph, our founders, have instilled in us a sense of duty to serve others. This spirit of service permeates our community as we strive to support and uplift one another.
I am proud to lead a school that has a strong emphasis on student wellbeing and the development of positive relationships. I invite you to join us in this remarkable journey of learning, growth, and community. Together, we will continue to nurture the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development of every child entrusted to our care.
We look forward to welcoming you into our family.
