The image of Jesus as the 'Good Shepherd' is based upon John's Gospel (10:10-15), where Jesus speaks:
As the school continues to develop, it values its relationship with Good Shepherd Parish. In a spirit of partnership with parents and parish, the school promotes the demonstration of Christian values, pursues the promotion of excellence in learning, and the recognition of the individuality of learners.
The spirit of community permeates all the endeavours of the school with the person of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, as its focal point.
The spirit of community permeates all the endeavours of the school with the person of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, as its focal point.
Since then, the school has grown to be a place where each person nurtures, and is nurtured, to realise their full potential, both as individuals and as members of Good Shepherd community.
Good Shepherd Primary School was founded in 1997, in response to the expressed needs of the Catholic families within the parish. The school opened with 3 classes (two kindergarten classes, and 1/2 class) with just 54 children and five founding staff members.
