The Spear Newsletter

St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Primary School has been established to provide a quality education in the Catholic tradition for families in the Cranbourne East area.
St Thomas The Apostle PS acknowledges the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land on which the school is built. We pay our respects to the Elders past a present for they hold the memories, traditions, the culture and hope of Indigenous Australia.
