Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to our school community.

As Principal, I am proud to lead at St Anthony’s of Padua primary school where every child is known, valued, and supported to flourish. In the heart of our Melton South community, we celebrate the rich diversity of our families and recognise the unique gifts each child brings to our school.

Our vision for learning is centred on high expectations and inclusive practices. We are committed to providing engaging, meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build confidence, and empower students to achieve their personal best. Our dedicated staff work collaboratively to ensure that each child is supported in their academic, social, and emotional growth.

We believe that strong partnerships with families are essential. By working together, we create a connected and supportive environment where children feel safe, engaged, and ready to learn. We warmly welcome families as active participants in school life.

At the heart of everything we do is our Catholic faith. Guided by Gospel values, we strive to nurture compassion, respect, and a sense of service in our students. We encourage each child to grow in their relationship with God and to make a positive difference in the world.

I invite you to explore our website and discover the many opportunities available to your child at our school.

Warm regards,
Caitlyn Lalor
