ST THOMAS’ PRIMARY SCHOOL

St Thomas’ Primary School, Claremont, is a Catholic Parish Community School,  established in 1909 by the Presentation Sisters. Today, St Thomas’ is a vibrant, single stream co-educational primary school catering for the families of St Thomas’ parish and surrounding areas for students from Kindergarten to Year Six.  St Thomas' is also registered to accept full-fee paying International students.

The school is part of a strong and close community.  It has an excellent reputation for providing a welcoming, involved and academically diverse environment for its students and has excellent infrastructure.

St Thomas’ implements the RAISe (Raising Achievement in Schools) initiative.  RAISe focuses on improving student outcomes in literacy and numeracy for all children.  In 2007 during National Literacy and Numeracy Week the school received national recognition for its work in the form of a Commonwealth Government  ‘Highly Commended’ award.

A whole school approach and commitment to collaborative processes for the purposes of school improvement ensures that St Thomas’ continues to thrive.
Professional development for staff which is connected to school priorities ensures that initiatives and priorities are implemented effectively.  Access to a well-resourced library, to support staff for literacy and numeracy, and to specialist teachers in Art, LOTE (Italian), Physical Education, Information and communication Technologies, and Music, supports the rich and diverse education available to the children.  An enrichment programme is also available to students. 

The school thrives with the excellent good-will and support of the Parish Priest, School Board and Parents and Friends Association.
