Our Lady of the Way Catholic Primary School has an unashamed approach to the whole child. Our approach is maintained by great, enthusiastic and passionate teachers whose wealth of experience has built the following ...

A Spiritual and Catholic Dimension:

  • Special days each term built around one of our pillars. These days celebrate our mission and vision.
  • Liturgy and celebration of mass - the times we learn about respect, silence, quietness, prayer and celebration.
  • Fr Geo is our Parish Priest  and celebrates with us. 
  • Hospitality after mass, or a liturgy, is  important in our school and classes and parents are invited to morning tea.
  • Mother's Day Liturgy and Morning Tea  is a big event at school in May of each year. We usually see around 150 or more mums attending.
  • Father's Day Breakfast and Liturgy is also a big event and we usually see the same number of dads coming to school. Usually on this day we have the CARDBOARD CHALLENGE!
