Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are thrilled to share a momentous milestone in the journey of St Luke’s Catholic College with the official opening and blessing of our completed campus last week. After seven years of vision, planning, and dedication, we now have the privilege of seeing our school facilities come to fruition, standing as a complete and inspiring environment that supports our mission of nurturing faith filled curious children to become creative contributors and innovative problem solvers for a changing world. 

As I reflected on this occasion, it struck me how closely the development of our buildings mirrors the growth of our students. Just as these walls have gradually taken shape, so too have our students – each one progressing through the years, gaining knowledge, skills, and confidence in themselves. Being a K-12 school offers us the unique gift of seeing each child grow and evolve from early curiosity to mature, thoughtful individuals.

A recent experience reinforced this connection for me personally. Walking into a Year 12 classroom, I was greeted by a student who reminded me that I had taught him back in Year 4. It was a poignant reminder of how our students’ journeys are intertwined with our own, as educators and community members. Watching them learn, flourish, and rise to new challenges year by year is an incredible privilege – one that strengthens our commitment to nurturing every student’s potential from their first days in the School of Foundations to their final moments in the School of Entrepreneurs.

With the completion of our school campus, we are more equipped than ever to support our students’ diverse needs, passions, and dreams. These new facilities will allow us to expand the innovative and flexible learning spaces that are a hallmark of St Luke’s, providing every student with an environment that encourages discovery, creativity, and collaboration. Our commitment to witnessing each student’s journey and supporting their aspirations is unwavering, and this event signifies yet another step forward in realising that vision.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. It is an honour to lead this remarkable community, and I look forward to many more years of growth, success, and joy with each of you.

With warm regards,

Kelly Bauer
