About Our School

St Declan's Catholic Primary School is a vibrant and growing community, currently educating 576 students. Founded by the Sisters of Charity and later entrusted to the Sisters of St Joseph, our school maintains a deep connection to St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and her enduring legacy of faith, service, and education.

Our story is also enriched by our Irish heritage through St Declan, an early evangeliser whose mission predated that of St Patrick. This history shapes our identity and inspires our commitment to nurturing a faith-filled, inclusive, and compassionate learning environment for all students.

Our students consistently achieve strong academic results and thrive in sport and the arts. We cater for diverse learning needs through evidence-based teaching practices that ensure learners are supported and challenged. Our staff work cohesively and collaboratively, creating a professional culture focused on student growth and wellbeing.
