Why choose us?
At Marion Catholic Primary School Horsley Park, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child and their innate potential by setting high expectations, and encouraging our students to become strong contributors of their local community.
Our supportive learning environment, pastoral care, and specialist programs, empower students to adopt lifelong learning habits and a sense of responsibility. Together with Our Lady of Victories parish and community, we extend, embrace and encourage success amongst our students.
Principal’s Message
Welcome to Marion Catholic Primary School Horsley Park, serving the parish of Our Lady of Victories and wider community of Horsley Park.
Our motto of ‘Sowing seeds for success and growing through Mary’s love’ is supported through the encouragement to see learning as a lifelong experience.
In 1980, Fr Philip Gambin was appointed parish priest of Our Lady of Victories Church, Horsley Park and saw that there was a need for a Catholic primary school in the parish.
On the first day of school in February 1982, 48 students arrived with their parents, comprising of 24 in Kindergarten and 24 in Year 1. Sr Catherine O’Brien (of the Sisters of Charity) was the founding principal of Marion Catholic Primary School Horsley Park.
By 1987, Marion was a complete primary school, with classes from Kindergarten to Year 6. 1987 was also the year that the school prayer was written in honour of Mary.
Our Mission
With Jesus and Mary as our model, we are committed to teaching the children by challenging and encouraging them to reach their true potential. We make every effort to achieve this through working in partnership with parents, parish and the wider community.
Our Vision
Marion Catholic Primary School is characterised through:
Our Lady of Victories parish and Marion Catholic Primary School Horsley Park work collaboratively to ensure the spiritual development of each child is nurtured. There is a direct link between the parish and school community through prayer, celebrations and outreach.
The staff work closely with the parish team preparing liturgies and prayer experiences for the children, and the children attend parish Masses regularly each term and celebrate Reconciliation throughout the year. The parish Sacramental program is supported by the school through focus lessons and celebrations.
Parish Priest: Rev Dominik Karnas CSMA
