MACS 2030

St Paul’s is guided by the MACS 2030 Strategy, which sets a clear direction for Catholic education across Melbourne Archdiocese schools. The strategy focuses on student growth, wellbeing and engagement, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially and spiritually. By aligning our teaching, learning and community practices with this vision, we aim to provide a rich, inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student is empowered to achieve their potential.

This strategy underpins everything we do at St Paul’s and informs our approach to instruction, engagement and wellbeing, helping us create a school community that is knowledge-rich, evidence-based and centred on equity, belonging and connection.

Vision for Instruction

At St Paul’s, we provide wide scope for children to explore their interests and to develop knowledge and skills. Through our curriculum and our culture of care, concern, and encouragement, we educate the whole child — spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially. We teach and assess against the Victorian Curriculum 2.0. In line with the MACS 2030 Vision for Instruction, we commit to:

Excellence – delivering a knowledge-rich, evidence-based teaching and learning program.

Equity – ensuring every student, regardless of background, achieves literacy and numeracy proficiency.

Vision for Engagement

At St Paul’s, we believe that authentic engagement is built through strong relationships, collaboration, and connection. Students, staff, families, and the wider community are valued partners in the learning journey. In line with the MACS 2030 Vision for Engagement, we commit to:

Partnerships – fostering genuine collaboration with families and the community to enhance student learning and wellbeing.

Belonging – creating inclusive, respectful, and supportive environments where every student feels safe, valued, and empowered to flourish.
