Padbury Catholic Primary School

What Padbury Catholic Primary School does

Padbury Catholic Primary School (PCPS) is a Catholic primary school located on O' Leary Road in Padbury, Western Australia, operating under the governance of Catholic Education Western Australia Ltd (CEWA Ltd). It delivers faith-based education from Pre-Kindy through Year 6 to local families within the Whitfords Parish catchment, with a stated motto of 'Love One Another' and tagline 'Inspiring Hearts & Minds'. The school's offering integrates core academic programs (Literacy & Numeracy, Religious Education) with specialist offerings including a 1:1 iPad Program, Robotics, The Studio creative space, a Library Learning Hub, Music (Musical), Art Show, and extracurricular sports such as soccer and a netball club affiliated with the Wanneroo Districts Netball Association. The technology stack is non-proprietary, relying on third-party platforms — SEQTA Engage for learning management and parent engagement, Flexischools for payments/ordering, and Mathletics for online mathematics — with no disclosed in-house AI or machine learning capability.

The school's revenue model is tuition and fee-based: families pay school fees (details referenced via the Fees page) and OSHClub provides Before School Care, After School Care, and Holiday Programs on campus with Child Care Subsidy eligibility. Distribution is direct enrollment via the school's website and intake process, supplemented by school tours, parish word-of-mouth, and an active Facebook/Instagram presence. The school sits within the broader CEWA Ltd system of 163 schools serving over 73,000 students across Western Australia, with local governance handled by an Advisory Council (formerly the PCPS Board) chaired by Casey Gallagher, and operational leadership by Principal Margaret Williamson. Leadership also includes Assistant Principals Senol Bonny and Mac Callisto, with a Parish Priest and Parents & Friends Executive providing community representation. PCPS is not an investable equity in the conventional PE/VC sense; it is a not-for-profit diocesan educational entity, and CEWA Ltd has been the operating governance parent since 1 January 2020.
