About Us

General Information

Located in Lake Coogee (formerly Munster) – St Jerome’s Primary School has a history of more than 90 years in the area and the school is also integral to the Parish of St Jerome's, Spearwood.

With close to 600 students from 3 Year Old Kindy to Year 6, the diverse and dynamic school life that is St Jerome’s Primary School, is reflective of the Parish and the multicultural communities which breathe life into our wonderful school. It has been meeting the spiritual, educational and pastoral needs of young people since 1935.

Success happens for every child, every day.

Our shared moral purpose at St Jerome's Primary School

At St Jerome's, we believe that every child is created in the image and likeness of God, is uniquely gifted, and deserves every opportunity to learn, grow and flourish. This belief is at the heart of our school and is expressed through our shared moral purpose: Success happens for every child, every day.

More than a statement, these words represent a collective commitment developed by our staff and lived through our daily work. They guide the way we teach, the relationships we build, the decisions we make and the expectations we hold for every child in our care.

What does success look like for your child?

Learning with Purpose

Every child deserves excellent teaching. Through explicit instruction, a carefully sequenced curriculum and evidence-informed practice, we build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and knowledge.

Growth and Achievement

Success is both personal and academic. Whether mastering a new concept, gaining confidence or persevering through a challenge, we recognise progress and encourage every child to achieve their personal best.

Faith in Action

Inspired by Jesus and His teachings, we nurture compassion, kindness, service and respect. Our Catholic faith shapes a community where every person is valued and called to make a positive difference.

Belonging and Wellbeing

Children learn best when they feel safe, known and supported. We foster positive relationships, inclusive classrooms and a strong sense of belonging, where every child is encouraged to flourish.

Our commitment is to every child, every day.

At St Jerome's, success is not reserved for a particular group of students or measured by academic results alone. It is found in the small and significant moments of every school day: a child discovering a love of reading, solving a difficult problem, showing kindness to a friend, developing independence or finding the confidence to try something new.

Our teachers and education assistants work together to provide the right support, appropriate challenge and meaningful opportunities for every learner. We maintain high expectations while recognising that each child's pathway to success is unique.

Parents are essential partners in this journey. Through strong relationships between home and school, we share the responsibility of helping children develop the knowledge, skills, character and faith that will serve them throughout their lives.

Together, we are building a school community where every child is known, every child is valued, and every child is given the opportunity to succeed.

Every child. Every day. Every opportunity to succeed.
