Welcome
St Luke the Evangelist Blackburn South
Welcome to St Luke the Evangelist Primary School. We are a community of learners who draw on our faith and the strong partnerships we form with families, our parish and the local community to be the best learners we can be. Research shows that when schools partner with families and their communities, outcomes grow and children thrive.
Our teachers are passionate about acknowledging the dignity of every child, ensuring individual strengths are celebrated and personal learning styles are considered when designing, planning and implementing the broad range of school based programs. They nurture the spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of our children. By being role models and mentors, teachers inspire our children to dream of being creative, innovative and optimistic young adults of tomorrow.
St Luke’s is a safe learning environment supported by staff, parents and parish. Fr Gerard Johnson leads our faith-filled parish community. With 165 children enrolled, we discover, explore and grow together, reflecting and responding to the world around us with a strong sense of justice in action and kindness in approach. We embrace the diversity of culture and faith within our school community and give thanks to our First Nations people for the use of their sacred land.
We would love you to visit our unique community here at St Luke the Evangelist, Blackburn South and feel the joy our community shares as they discover, explore and grow.
