Melbourne Private Schools introduces St Gertrude's Primary School in Smithfield, for all your education and learning needs.
St Gertrude’s is located in Smithfield in south-western Sydney, within St Gertrude’s Parish. The school was opened in January 1952 by the Josephite Sisters and continues today to practise the values and traditions of Mary MacKillop, their foundress.
The school is a co-educational K-6 primary school with 28 class groups and an enrolment of over seven hundred students. The school operates within an area of large cultural diversity with the students enrolled reflecting an amalgam of 25 cultural backgrounds.
The school is a feeder school for Patrician Brothers College, Fairfield, for boys and Mary MacKillop College, Wakeley, for girls.
Welcome to St Gertrude's Primary School one of the popular educators in your Smithfield area. Our aim is help you in your learning journey.
We endeavour to celebrate each other's uniqueness by providing opportunity for all and to develop a culture that identifies that the journey towards excellence is often paved with trial and error, risk taking, learning from mistakes, flexibility and adaptability. We believe that encouraging students to take ownership of the learning is critical in achieving the best learning outcomes and that implicit in this concept is that students learn their own areas of strength and areas of development, through useful and explicit feedback.
