What makes us bigger than you think

Children are our first priority. Our motto 'The little school with a big heart' represents our unique culture of care, empathy and respect for diversity. 

At our school, your child is never just a number. With an educator/learner ratio of 1:11, we can confidently say we know each child and their needs, creating a real sense of inclusiveness.

Being an IB world school, we like to set the bar high, providing quality education that is relevant, challenging and engaging for every child. We offer a vibrant specialist program including Mandarin, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, PE and STEM.

Did you know that the average learning space in a Victorian classroom is 4m2? Our children enjoy 8m2. Having so much learning space creates a calm vibe within the school. 

There is more to our playground than meets the eye. We have two basketball courts, an athletic track, a large nature and adventure playground - designed by the children - and a pergola with a kitchen garden. Lots of space for children to play comfortably.

We welcome all families, regardless of faith.

We’d love to welcome you and your child

What our parents & students say

"St Columba's is known as the little school with the big heart and you notice that when you first arrive. Every teacher and every student knows your child by name. They offer bespoke learning experiences for children to enjoy while at school."
