Principal’s Welcome

As Principal of Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School in Ocean Grove, I extend a warm welcome to our school community. Situated within Holy Trinity Parish, Queenscliff and under the Archdiocese of Melbourne, our school plays a pivotal role as one of two primary schools (P-6) in the parish. Since its establishment in 1982, Our Lady Star of the Sea has grown significantly in response to increasing enrolment demands.

Our ethos is firmly rooted in fostering a vibrant faith community and strong connections between the school and parish, enhancing our collective sense of belonging and spiritual growth.

Inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church traditions, Our Lady Star of the Sea promotes a nurturing, welcoming and respectful atmosphere , embedded in a spirit of cooperation.

At Our Lady Star of the Sea, our “Star Way” philosophy, prioritises student-centered learning, ensuring each child’s needs and interests are central to their educational journey. Our approach includes evidence-based pedagogy, differentiated instruction, and a supportive year level structure known as “Hubs”, where collaboration and teamwork is key to fostering academic and emotional development.

We are committed to developing students’ agency in learning and preparing them to be active, critical citizens in today’s world. Our curriculum integrates Religious Education and Gospel values across all subjects, complementing the Victorian Curriculum. We have a strong emphasis on social justice, wellbeing and sustainability, where we actively strive to make a positive difference within our learning community and beyond, locally and globally.

We are immensely proud of our passionate and dedicated staff and our students who uphold our values of respect, responsibility, and safety, aligned with our motto, “Setting the Right Course.”

Parents and carers are valued partners in education, enriching our school community through their active involvement.
