Lastly, we are school that values communication. Please keep informed with school related events via the website Family Hub (stpaulshenty.nsw.edu.au) and for any special dates of events. You can also be informed by checking your emails regularly. Facebook will be used for promoting learning and sharing successes of our students.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s learning, please email your child’s teacher or call the front office to book a time to meet face-to-face. Hollie and myself are always available if you require guidance or clarifications regarding any information that isn’t directly linked to your child’s classroom teacher.

I am looking forward to a fantastic year of learning!

Our Learner Profile is also a solid foundation that guides our students in ‘the how’ they approach their learning. We aim for our students to value knowledge, be confident to take risks and understand that failing is a chance to learn and grow.

Welcome back to a new year at St Paul’s. It has been great to hear the exciting stories and fun times our students have experienced over the summer break. Like every year, the school is too quiet in the holiday period and it is always a good feeling having our students return for day one.

We offer a special welcome to our Kindergarten students and all new students and families to the team.

With the beginning of a new year, it is a perfect time to refocus on the importance of who we are as a school at St Paul’s. All staff extend their commitment to our families as we work together to inspire learning and growth in our students.

While there is a major focus on teaching and learning, we strive to offer far more than that.  When a family joins a Lutheran school, they become part of a community which strives to be a secure place which offers warm, caring relationships and a safe environment.  A Lutheran school sees each student as being unique with their own particular gifts and needs.  The approach is not to ask what students and their families can do for the school, but what the school can do for them.

Lutheran schools have developed a special vision which is based on teachings of the Bible.  As a Christian learning community, St Paul’s aspires to provide a culture and ethos permeated by the core values of love, justice, compassion, forgiveness, service, humility, courage, hope, quality and appreciation.
