Message from the Principal

​​​​​​​​Welcome to St Columba's Primary School, Wilston

It is my great honour to welcome you to St Columba’s Primary School, a vibrant and nurturing community that has been shaping young minds and hearts since 1917. As a school deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition and the values of the Good Samaritan Sisters, we are committed to fostering an environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to thrive.

At St Columba’s, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom. We are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of our students through proactive programs and strategies that support their social, emotional, and academic growth. Our students benefit from an engaging curriculum delivered by our highly professional and passionate staff, who are committed to providing the best possible learning experiences.

Our school takes pride in offering a broad and dynamic education. Alongside a strong foundation in Literacy and Numeracy, we provide a rich array of extra-curricular opportunities, including STEM, Performing Arts, Italian, PE and a comprehensive before-school sports program. These initiatives help our students develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. With a cutting-edge 1:1 iPad/laptop program, we ensure our students are equipped with the digital skills they need to succeed in an ever-evolving world.

St Columba’s has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with nearly eight million dollars invested in state-of-the-art facilities to support modern learning. This commitment to growth continues, ensuring our students have access to the best possible resources and spaces to learn, explore, and excel.

We invite you to become part of our dynamic and welcoming community—a place where faith, learning, and friendship come together to create an enriching educational journey for every child. I encourage you to visit us, experience the spirit of St Columba’s, and see firsthand how we inspire, challenge, and support our students to reach their full potential.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to St Columba’s and sharing this exciting journey with you.
