Our School Community Houses...

St. Luke's School Community Houses 

~  Established 2011 ~

As part of our Feast Day celebrations in 2011 we officially commissioned our first ever School Community Houses.

The St. Luke's School Community Houses honour the first staff members appointed to the school in 2004 in readiness for our first year of Catholic education.

As per our nature of breaking with some educational traditions our School Board decided St. Luke's would have FIVE School Community Houses.

The School Community Houses are another way for our school community to come together in community.

School Community Houses will be used: for sporting events, activity days, family gatherings, social justice & mission activities, inter-house gatherings & competitions, for prayer gatherings, etc...

Our School Community House names reflect the importance of our school journey, our pioneering days and the early establishment of St. Luke's Catholic Primary School.

Our School Community House names honour the commitment and tremendous work of our Foundational Staff Team who commenced at the school for the start of the 2005 school year.

Our School Community Houses are...
