Why choose our school?
St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School Regents Park is an inclusive and spiritual community that seeks to provide a niche for each child. We develop the values of students by encouraging them to reach out to others through our focus on engagement and social justice.
Passionate teachers go above and beyond for students in a contemporary environment. They know all children as individuals and use this knowledge to deliver learning growth. In partnership with our parents we have built a wonderful place of education that prepares every child for an exciting future.
Principal’s Message
History
St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School Regents Park was established by the Sisters of St Joseph in 1925 with an enrolment of 64 students. In 1989, the Josephite Sisters ended their leadership of the school and the Catholic Education Office appointed the first lay principal. In 1989, the school became co-educational from Kindergarten to Year 6. Today, we are a vibrant and multicultural school with a student population of over 400.
Charism
Our school is fortunate to be inspired by two saints, St Peter Chanel and St Mary of the Cross MacKillop. The charisms of these saints enrich our school community and impel us to make a difference in the lives of others.
Mission
At St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School Regents Park we are committed to ensuring that the teachings of Jesus are integral to all that happens from day to day.
Vision
Our vision for learning is ‘Soaring to Great Heights Together’.
Values
We value:
- Spirituality – working to build a close relationship with God.
- Outreach – showing empathy towards others and reaching out to those beyond the boundaries of our school.
- Acceptance – being inclusive of others in our school and wider community.
- Respect – fostering an environment which supports self worth, the dignity of all people and stewardship of the earth.
- Individuality – sharing, celebrating and appreciating our similarities and differences because we are created in God’s image.
- Nurturing partnerships – being a welcoming community where every person is nurtured in developing quality relationships with each other.
- Generosity – being a community in which we model ourselves on Mary MacKillop who was humble and gave selflessly.
