“Maria Regina Principal, Ms Kirsty Thorpe, has a love of teaching and believes that allowing children to think creatively about real-life challenges or situations will build resilience and teach perseverance for the future.”
Welcome to Maria Regina, a school boasting a rich history of over 60 years of excellence in teaching and learning. Here, we strive to “Make a Difference” as a community by embracing and celebrating the uniqueness, creativity and achievements of each individual.
We are an inclusive, student-led primary school that encourages agile, collaborative thinkers with learning that extends beyond the classroom. Tailored learning enhances each child’s education, and our class sizes allow teachers to know and understand each individual. Your child will gain a holistic education at Maria Regina, based on the Catholic values which underpin our curriculum and guide all our actions.
As the Principal at Maria Regina, I am grateful to work in close partnership with our staff, parent community and Parish to make Maria Regina the best school possible for each and every child. I personally, enjoy spending time in the playground each day watching as the children of all ages play together – at Maria Regina you don’t only gain friends from your class, you gain friends from across the school. I also feel extremely fortunate to work with such passionate, dedicated, creative and intelligent staff. Our teachers nurture, engage and challenge each student to achieve their personal best. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, and this village is bursting with loving and supportive friends, parents and teachers.
I invite you to meet me and to come explore our school by checking out our virtual tour or visiting our Facebook page. Alternatively, if you would like a private tour or wish to speak to someone at the school, please contact the office on (02) 7256 2138 or email us here.
