Welcome
Welcome to St Munchin’s Catholic School community. We trust that your association with the school will be both happy and rewarding. The time your child will spend in primary education is a most significant period in your child’s life and in the life of your family.
St Munchin's 3 Year Old Programme commences in February 2013. Enrolments are now being accepted.
Our phone number will be 9234 7517.
We recognise the unique contribution made by parents to the life of the school and to the learning of the children. Education today demands parents are seen as partners and active contributors in the task of enabling children to reach their full potential.
When Parish, home and school share a common vision and work together, there is likelihood of success being achieved.
St Munchin’s Catholic School is a community of faith, with Jesus as its model. Staff, students and parents work together in a spirit of Christian cooperation, with their primary goal being the assistance in the spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and volitional growth of each child.
Our mission is to proclaim and witness the Gospel in a Catholic environment. We aim to integrate these values into the entire curriculum and life of the school. Our school motto, ‘Follow Truth’, helps us to focus on what is truly important to us at St Munchin’s. The learning programme which is offered at our school attempts to address the needs of all students and aims to provide the broadest range of educational experiences so that every person can enjoy challenge, achievement and success.
We celebrate the relationships which exists between all members of our school community and recognise the contribution made by all groups. The staff members at St Munchin’s Catholic School make every effort to keep abreast of educational developments and apply best practice within the classroom.

Goals
The focus of St Munchin's Out of School Care service is the happiness and well-being of your child. We believe that the program for our centre should provide opportunities for children to participate in stimulating activities, dynamic play and lateral exploration to encourage both individual processes and social/group engagements that are part of a shared, collaborative and resource rich environment.
Quality after school care and vacation care helps children develop their potential in all areas of emotional, social and physical development. Our centre seeks to emphasize creativity, imagination and lateral invention in our approach to making fun, and believe that both the programme and staff initiatives should reflect such modelling through an ethic of improvisation, creative imagination, problem solving, self challenge and humour. In this way, it is important to us that the program encourages a deeply child-centred environment with an ‘extension’ approach to developmental challenge.
We believe that self choice is an essential base of children’s enjoyment in their recreational time, and therefore we will seek to extend the range of children’s experience through facilitating planned activities as well as spontaneous forms of play.
Our staff show the children respect as individuals and respond to their needs in a warm, safe and friendly environment.
