Leading with Purpose, Guided by Values and Lifelong Learning

Welcome to Spotswood 

Moving into a new area is so exciting and choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the process. 

At the heart of the Spotswood community, St Margaret Mary’s Primary School partners with families to nurture confident learners, strong values and a genuine sense of belonging. 

At St Margaret Mary’s: 

✔️ We know every child 

✔️ Our families build genuine and lasting connections 

✔️ Faith is lived daily, not just taught

What Makes Catholic Education Distinctive 

Our families choose an education at St Margaret Mary’s because it offers something deeper, a strong academic foundation which is inclusive and grounded in faith, values and community. 

✔️ Faith in Action: Liturgical celebrations, social justice initiatives, living the Gospel values. 

✔️ Academic Excellence with Care: Strong results, personalised learning, high expectations in a nurturing environment. 

✔️ A Community That Knows You: Smaller setting, strong relationships, staff who truly know each child. 

✔️ Character & Leadership: Developing compassionate, confident young people who serve others.

One of the biggest factors in choosing a school was finding a place where the values aligned with those at home, especially knowing our daughter would be there five days a week. St Margaret Mary’s offers a buddy program that made the transition for our daughter from kindergarten to prep very comforting and supportive, which can only be instilled with the values of the school of Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence.
