Saint Monica's has a clear Vision and Graduate Outcomes

Saint Monica's Vision

We believe in a Catholic community that fully develops the whole child and celebrates their faith journey with Jesus.

We believe that the community, families, teachers and students are partners in the learning process challenging each other to grow and be the best we can be.

We acknowledge our founders who started our school and chose St Monica's as our patroness enabling us to provide a Catholic education whose faith, compassion and love we seek to reflect.

 We are committed to promoting a curriculum that promotes self-worth and recognises the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. 

We are stewards of our environment who respect, care for and maintain the resources that God has provided us.
