Our School
Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to Our Lady of Fatima School,
A Catholic single-stream learning community inspired by the powerful message of Our Lady’s visits to the three children of Fatima in 1917. Mary’s call for peace continues to guide our mission and shape the heart of our school. Since founding our school in 1923, the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions have left a lasting legacy of faith, learning and community, shaping the school’s identity and inspiring generations through their commitment to contemplation, communion and mission.
We are proud to offer a nurturing environment where personalised learning allows all students to thrive- academically, spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially. At Our Lady of Fatima School, we believe that education is about more than knowledge, as we foster the building of character and empower students to meaningfully contribute to school life.
Our school is a vibrant and inclusive community, where diversity is celebrated and every student is valued for who they are. We work in close partnership with families, recognising that strong relationships between home and school are essential to a child’s learning and wellbeing. Together, we create a safe and welcoming space, where children feel supported, challenged and inspired to be the best versions of themselves.
Our Lady of Fatima School enjoys a strong and positive relationship with our parish, working together to nurture the faith of our students and families. We are also deeply connected to the Palmyra community and feel privileged to be part of its rich and welcoming local spirit.
Whether in the classroom or on the playground, our students are encouraged to live out Jesus’ message of love and peace and grow in confidence, compassion and curiosity. We invite you to explore our school and discover the warmth, joy and excellence that define Our Lady of Fatima School.
