Welcome
St Aloysius Parish School is a Catholic co-educational primary school in Redan, Ballarat. In 2020 we have 242 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. “Results from NAPLAN testing 2019 indicated that St Aloysius students had outperformed both the state and national growth levels in all areas including: Reading, Writing, Spelling, Numeracy, Grammar and Punctuation. This was an outstanding result.”.
This year we continue an exciting Literacy partnership with the Australian Catholic University. This project involves pre-service teachers from ACU working throughout the school, two days per week. This unique program greatly assists the development of your children. Our school also boasts specialist Physical Education, Performing Arts, Digital Technology (including Robotics) and Language classes for all students on a weekly basis.
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. 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 in 2019 we commence our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen garden targeting years 3 & 4.
Encouraged by an active School Advisory Council and Parents and Friends Committee, 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, in a modern and safe physical environment.
Application for enrolment to St Aloysius School is made through the Catholic Education Office Ballarat enrolment portal. This can be found on their website at http://www.ceoballarat.catholic.edu.au where parents are asked to nominate St Aloysius School as their first preference. Alternately, enrolment forms can be picked up at the school office and Robert Rosenow or Lesley Brown (Administration) will arrange an appointment with the Principal, Michael Kennedy.
Thank you for considering St Aloysius for the Education of your child.
