School Profile

St Denis School is a Catholic school within the Joondanna Parish. It was originally opened in 1951 by the Servite Friars, together with the Sisters of Mercy. The school community seeks to foster an environment that integrates love, truth and learning, where each individual strives to become a model of Christian living and is nurtured toward his/her full potential.

The school is coeducational with a current enrolment from Pre-Kindergarten through to Year 6. The school also offers an Outside School Hours Care program.

St Denis offers an educational philosophy based on developmental learning, inclusivity and Christian ethos. St Denis School has an integrated technology plan, implementing tablet technology in the Kindergarten to Year Three classrooms and a 1:to:1 iPad program in the Year Four to Six classrooms.

Educational Assistants are also employed to assist teachers with students requiring support. Students are involved in a variety of extra-curricular activities that enrich their school experience, as well as a range of academic competitions such as the Speak Up Awards.

The Making Jesus Real program is central to our school and these values are incorporated into our school policies and teaching program and permeates all learning areas.

St Denis has put in place sustainability practices and strategies endeavouring to care for the environment that has been entrusted to us.
