Welcome to St Paul’s Catholic Primary School, a renowned educational institution in Darwin with a rich history dating back to 1967. Founded on the ancestral lands of the Larrakia people by the OLSH Sisters and MSC Priests and Brothers, St Paul’s has established itself as a beacon of academic excellence and spiritual growth. Embracing a collaborative and diverse community, the school prides itself on providing high-quality Catholic education that nurtures each child’s academic, emotional, and spiritual development.
At St Paul’s, we have cultivated an innovative and supportive learning environment that encourages students to reach their full potential. Through a focus on explicit teaching and a gradual-release learning model, we empower our community members to excel academically and celebrate their achievements. Our commitment to meeting the needs of families extends beyond the classroom, with offerings such as an Early Learning Centre for 3-5 year olds and an Outside School Hours Care service, including Vacation Care. The school’s strong relationship with St Paul’s Parish underscores its dedication to fostering a sense of belonging and community.
St Paul’s Catholic Primary School continues to be the school of choice for families in the Darwin region, irrespective of religious affiliation. Led by Ms. Jo Knight, the school invites prospective families to experience firsthand the spirit of Jesus’ love that permeates daily life at St Paul’s. Whether through face-to-face visits or virtual interactions, the school welcomes all who seek a holistic educational experience that prioritizes academic growth, emotional well-being, and spiritual enrichment.
