Join a calm and safe learning community at Queenscliff’s St Aloysius

Students at St Aloysius Primary School enjoy an average class size of 14, ensuring they have an excellent opportunity to learn.

The first thing that most parents who come for a tour of St Aloysius Primary School comment upon is how calm the atmosphere at the school is.

With a school population of about 111, students are settled in their individual classrooms, in small class sizes with their teachers and teachers’ aides getting very targeted learning and teaching experiences.

The average class size at St Aloysius is 14. Students in a small school like St Aloysius are given excellent opportunities to have a leadership role, compete in representative sporting tournaments and participate in performing arts events.

Students and families have the opportunity to be heard and contribute to all aspects of learning.

St Aloysius also offers a dynamic range of outdoor learning opportunities. With its stunning location nestled between Port Phillips Head and Swan Bay, students enjoy frequent trips to the Marine Fresh Water Discovery Centre for Science, the Queenscliff Lonsdale Yacht Club for canoeing and to the beach for snorkeling and marine debris collection as part of the school’s innovative STEAM program.

This combination of both the small class sizes and increased opportunities for dynamic learning experiences has led to excellent learning results, with St Aloysius being one of the top performing primary schools in NAPLAN in the Geelong region over the past five years.

Principal Miriam Leahy believes being a small community has big benefits. Students and families have the opportunity to be heard and contribute to all aspects of their learning journey, from Prep to their transition to the area’s top Secondary Colleges such as Sacred Heart, St Ignatius and St Joseph’s.

Enrolments are now open for 2026, with availability in some year levels for a 2025 mid-year intake.
