Our School
St Thomas More's Primary School, Campbell , established by the Sisters of the Holy Faith in 1961,
is a Catholic Archdiocesan School that follows the guidelines and policies set down by the
Catholic Education Commission of the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn.
Being a small school, it is able to provide a special opportunity for children to develop in a friendly
atmosphere where the needs and concerns of each individual are recognised and dealt with.
As approximately 35% of our children come from Defence families, we are familiar with the problems
they experience, and therefore endeavour to create a secure environment where all children grow
in self-esteem and self-reliance.
St Thomas More's is a parish-based school consisting of classes for children from Kindergarten
to Year Six. The class structures consist of single grade and multi-age class structures.
St Thomas More's Primary School community bases its decisions and actions on its belief
that the school is a faith community promoting the values and teachings of Jesus Christ
and the Catholic Church and providing an environment supportive of faith development.
The school aims to:
• create a Christian environment in which each child may grow and develop into a responsible and effective
member of a family, school, parish and society, recognising and respecting the dignity of others;
• encourage each child to fulfil his/her potential by focusing on the total development
- spiritual, moral, social, emotional, intellectual- of the individual child; and
• encourage self-discipline and the development of a positive self-image.
St Thomas More's has a current enrolment of approximately 161 children.
We have a dedicated, professional staff who work hard to ensure that the programs
offered are implemented to allow for the total development of each child.
We base all our actions on Catholic beliefs and values.
