Enrolment at Santa Clara School
At Santa Clara School, we warmly welcome families seeking a nurturing, faith-filled and high-quality education for their children. As a single-stream Catholic primary school, places are limited and highly sought after. We encourage families to begin the enrolment process early to avoid disappointment.
Guided by our Dominican charism of Preach, Prayer, Blessing, we value strong partnerships with families as we support each child to grow in faith, learning and wellbeing.
