Welcome
St Aloysius' Primary School is a Catholic Co-Educational Primary School in Redan, Ballarat. We are located at 800 Ripon St, Redan. This year, we have 247 students enrolled from Foundation to Year 6.
We offer a comprehensive education in the Catholic tradition. Together with our highly motivated and trained staff, we work with our families to maximise learning outcomes for our students, with a strong focus on the teaching of Literacy and Numeracy across all levels as well as providing and engaging learning experience across all learning areas. The wellbeing of our students is paramount. The school has a Pastoral Care Worker onsite two days per week and all staff are currently working with the MacKillop Institute and the ReLATE program to provide a safe and engaging learning environment.
Our school also boasts specialist Physical Education, Japanese and STEAM classes (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Maths) for all students on a weekly basis. Children participate in Robotics via the STEAM specialist lessons.
At St Aloysius, we have a strong commitment to life-long learning, encouraging students to take responsibility for their own learning through a contemporary and stimulating curriculum. Students set individual learning goals and aspire to maintain a high standard for their learning. The fostering of individual students to develop into happy and productive members of our community is of paramount importance. St Aloysius is committed to the development of each individual student in attaining his or her potential: spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically.
Our School Vision Statement reads: “As partners in Catholic Education, and open to God’s presence, we pursue fullness of life for all.” Child Safety is a priority at St Aloysius and student wellbeing is well resourced with a trained pastoral care worker at school two days per week, a buddy program for all foundation students and our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen garden enhancing years 3 & 4 engagement. Our current school priorities (2020-2024) include;
Our school community is supported by an active School Advisory Council and Parents and Friends Committee. Both provide an opportunity for parents to actively participate in the life of the school. The school nurtures and supports students to develop critical thinking skills, self-reliance, community action and strong interpersonal skills through a commitment to success and achievement across the curriculum within modern learning environments. In 2021 our new Year 1/2 learning hub was opened to provide excellent learning for our students. The Foundation and Year 3/4 classes have also been fully refurbished and provide flexible and modern learning environments. Our next stage of development is to tranform the remainder of the school into a Year 5/6 learning hub.
Application for enrolment to St Aloysius School can be made by contacting the school directly on 5335 8177. A centralised enrolment system for Foundation students takes place in Feb/Mar of the year prior through the Catholic Education Office Ballarat enrolment portal. This can be found on their website at http://www.dobcel.catholic.edu.au
Parents/carers are asked to nominate St Aloysius' School as their first preference if intending to enrol at St Aloysius' School. Alternately, enrolment forms can be picked up at the school office and an appointment with the Principal, Michael Kennedy or Co-Principal Narelle Cox can be arranged.
We hope that you find our website provides many insights into our wonderful school.
