About St Thomas More's

St Thomas More’s Primary School, Campbell, established by the Sisters of the Holy Faith in 1961, is a Catholic Archdiocesan School. Being a small school, we provide a special opportunity for children to develop in a friendly atmosphere where the needs of each individual are recognised and catered for.

As approximately 40% of our children come from Defence families, we are familiar with the challenges of relocation, and therefore endeavour to create a secure environment where all children grow in self-esteem and resilience.

St Thomas More’s has a current enrolment of approximately 180 children. We have a dedicated, professional staff, who work hard to ensure that the programs offered are implemented to allow for the total development of each child. We base all our actions on Catholic beliefs and values.

St Thomas More’s is a parish-based school consisting of classes for children from Kindergarten to Year Six. The class structure consists of single grade and multi-age class groups.
