We are proud to be located within the diverse community of Truganina. This diversity brings a wealth of perspectives, cultures and traditions, creating a vibrant learning environment where students are encouraged to embrace differences and similarities, celebrate uniqueness, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and our community.
​
We actively encourage families to engage in their children's education, understanding that when parents, the first educators of their children. and school work together, children benefit greatly from this partnership.

Families in Partnership
At St Clare's Primary School, we recognise the invaluable role that strong partnerships with our community play in fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for our students. Our Families in Partnership (FIP) team is at the heart of this effort, bringing together parents, staff, and the wider school community to discuss and support various fundraising initiatives. We actively encourage parents to not only support these initiatives but to also engage in school activities and participate wherever possible. Through our FIP initiatives, we aim to provide a wide range of opportunities for parent involvement, believing that a visible and meaningful presence of parents in their child's education leads to greater academic and personal growth. By working together, we strengthen the connection between home and school, helping every child to thrive in a supportive and collaborative environment.
School Advisory Council
School Advisory Councils (SAC) are advisory bodies which form an important expression of the educational partnership that exists between parents, schools, parishes and the wider community to support all students. This is reflected in the ex-officio membership of both the principal and the parish priest on the Council. What they do is governed by the Terms of Reference.
​
The SAC provides a forum for discussion and discernment, where the parent voice and perspective are available to influence the decisions made by the principal and parish priest for the good of school and parish where the wellbeing and outcomes for students is paramount.
