Give your child the best opportunity to develop academically, spiritually and socially.
Our Lady of the Way Primary is a Catholic coeducational K-6 school that opened in 1979. We are a Christ-centred Catholic faith and learning community. As Catholics who live by the Gospel values of faith, hope and love, we believe integrity is essential in living the values of being a safe and inclusive community: compassionate, respectful, just and fair, responsible, and cooperative.
We encourage respect of self and others through positive relationships and foster the values that Jesus lived, such as service, mercy, reconciliation and compassion. We celebrate the value and individuality of each person and hope to develop young people who will go on to make a real difference in our world.
Living out our motto
Social justice for the OLOW school community, is not just about “ticking a box” to say we care for people. It flows naturally out of all we do, and it begins at home as we strive to: Act Justly, Love Tenderly and Walk Humbly with our God. A concerted effort is made to reach out and care for families and children within our own school who are in the greatest need of support and compassion. We also reach out to those beyond our community through advocating and fundraising for Project Compassion, the Diocesan Works Fund, the Winter Food Appeal for the Penrith Community Kitchen, and making up hampers for the Vinnies Christmas Appeal.
