St Thomas More's Primary (Campbell ACT)

St Thomas More’s Primary School, Campbell, established by the Sisters of the Holy Faith in 1961, is a Catholic Archdiocesan School that follows the guidelines and policies set down by the Catholic Education Commission of the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn.

Being a small school, we are able to provide a special opportunity for children to develop in a friendly atmosphere where the needs and concerns of each individual are recognised and valued.

Approximately 48% of our children come from Defence families. We are familiar with the challenges they experience, and therefore endeavour to create a secure environment where all students grow in self-esteem and self-reliance.

St Thomas More’s is a parish-based school consisting of classes for children from Kindergarten to Year 6. The class structures consist of both single and multi-age groups.

St Thomas More’s Primary School community bases its decisions and actions on its belief that the school is a faith community promoting the values and teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church and providing an environment supportive of faith development.

The school aims to: create a Christian environment in which each child may grow and develop into a responsible and effective
member of a family, school, parish and society, recognising and respecting the dignity of others; encourage each child to fulfil his/her potential by focusing on the total development – spiritual, moral, social, emotional, intellectual- of the individual child; and, encourage self-discipline and the development of a positive self-image.

St Thomas More’s Primary School has a current enrolment of approximately 152 children. We have a dedicated, professional staff who work hard to ensure that the programs offered are implemented to allow for the total development of each child.
We base all our actions on Catholic beliefs and values.
