Principal's News
All students attending St Louis de Montfort's Aspendale have the right to feel safe.
The care, safety and well-being of children and young people
It is a fundamental responsibility of all within our school.
Good afternoon, families,
It has been an incredibly challenging week for our community following the tragic news regarding Mrs Kolodziej’s son, Harrison. I want to express my deepest gratitude for the overwhelming support the St. Louis community has extended to Anna during this time—it truly highlights what a compassionate and connected community we share.
Please continue to keep Anna, Harrison, Campbell, and Mark in your thoughts and prayers.

🎯 Bogan Bingo Success!
A massive thank you to the PFA—and particularly to Jayde and her team—for organising a fantastic Bogan Bingo night! It was wonderful to see so many parents come out for a fun evening.
Thanks to your incredible support, the event raised $3,000. These funds are already being put to good use; we have a tradesperson coming out next week to provide a quote on reinstating our garden pond.
