Lumen Christi Primary School, situated on the south-western edge of Ballarat, is a welcoming and vibrant Catholic primary school that is committed to providing a responsive and inclusive learning environment for its students. Inspired by its name, which means “light of Christ,” Lumen Christi aims to foster a sense of community, promote the dignity of each individual, and nurture the spiritual journey of its students within the Catholic tradition.
Led by Principal Carmel Hanley, Lumen Christi is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each student. Teachers take the time to understand and support students on an individual basis, creating a personalised and caring learning experience. The school prides itself on its ability to cater to the diverse needs of its students and strives to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
Lumen Christi offers a holistic approach to learning, focusing on academic excellence, as well as nurturing self-expression, embracing diversity, and promoting justice and citizenship. The school values the partnership between home and school, recognising that collaboration between parents, teachers, and students is essential for success.
Prospective families are invited to book a tour of the school to see Lumen Christi in action. Led by the school's leadership staff, these tours provide an opportunity to witness the school's learning environment, meet the dedicated staff, and learn more about its whole-child approach to education. The school welcomes both Catholic and non-Catholic families who seek to have their children educated in a Catholic environment.
Enrolment at Lumen Christi is currently closed for Foundation (Prep) students for 2024. However, limited spaces are available for students in higher year levels. Families interested in enrolling their children are encouraged to contact the school's administration and leadership team to arrange a learning walk and discuss the application process further.
Lumen Christi understands the financial considerations that come with a Catholic education and welcomes all students and families who share or respect the Catholic faith, values, and traditions. Catholic education is supported by State and Federal funding, with families contributing the remaining balance of the cost of education.
Lumen Christi Primary School is a special place where students can learn, grow, and belong. With its commitment to academic excellence, spiritual development, and community engagement, Lumen Christi strives to provide an enriching and supportive educational experience for all its students.
