Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to St Paul’s Catholic Primary School. I am proud to lead a collaborative and diverse school community that prides itself on meeting each child at their point of need so that each child can grow academically, emotionally and spiritually. We provide our students with a high quality Catholic education filled with opportunities to thrive.

St Paul’s Catholic Primary School has a long, proud history in the Darwin community. Established in 1967 on the lands of the Larrakia people, by the OLSH (Daughter of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) Sisters and the MSC Priests and Brothers, we welcome everyone and continue to be the school of choice for families, Catholic and non-Catholic, in the Darwin region. We have a strong relationship with St Paul’s Parish that continues to flourish.

At St Paul’s we have created an innovative, challenging, supportive and contemporary learning environment. With a focus on explicit teaching and a gradual-release learning model, we encourage all in our community to reach their full potential and acknowledge and celebrate their efforts and achievements. 

We continue to meet the needs of families and our wider community, embracing our Early Learning Centre (3-5 year olds) and our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) service, including Vacation Care as part of our school community. We are very proud of the sense of community that continues to shine here at St Paul’s and invite you to be a part of this wonderful school.

For further information or an opportunity to visit our school, face-to-face or virtually, please contact our reception.

May the spirit of Jesus’ love continue to fill your hearts in your daily lives.

Ms Jo Knight
