Welcome to Mater Dei Catholic Primary School

Vicky, Mater Dei Parent

My girls have both thrived emotionally and academically since starting at Mater Dei. Their personalities have become brighter and they have a sense of self. When enrolled at their previous school, we had many difficult mornings. Now the girls are ready before I am, asking to go to school. It is a great big difference.

I am super proud that this depth of care, love and support is at the heart of our community. Your leadership is exemplary - if only every leader of communities took the time and effort to get in there and do the coal face work you both do. So thank you for doing this and being there, w ...
