At St Raphael’s School, we’re not just meeting standards—we’re setting them!

Our young learners have knocked it out of the park with exceptional academic achievements, showcasing the power of a personalised education that fosters a love of learning.

Breaking records in literacy and numeracy

We achieved a 100% success rate for all our students in the Phonics Screening Check. This vital assessment measures foundational literacy skills, and our students’ success is a testament to their hard work and the dedication of our teachers. Similarly, in the newly introduced CESA Number Check, St Raphael’s students achieved outstanding results, laying strong foundations for future mathematical excellence.

What’s our secret?

The secret behind our success lies in our unwavering commitment to delivering on Our Promise: a bright and inspired start in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported.

At St Raphael’s, we celebrate individuality, recognising that each student has unique gifts and talents.

Our educators are passionate about creating personalised learning experiences that empower students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

By fostering curiosity and resilience, we encourage children to embrace challenges with confidence. Partnering with families and embracing diversity allows us to build a community where every child can shine.

Inspiring future leaders

At St Raphael’s, we prepare students for life beyond the classroom by nurturing well-rounded individuals who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.

Our focus extends beyond academics to include programs that inspire creativity, leadership, and social responsibility.

We aim to inspire future leaders equipped with the skills and mindset to face tomorrow’s challenges with courage and optimism.

We are so proud of our students and their achievements!

So why the nostalgic recap? Well, there was another big thinking idea taking shape in Aberfoyle Park during this time, with the opening of a new schooling set up.

It happens in a moment. A student halfway up a rock face pauses, frozen by fear and doubt. Below, an instructor calmly encourages: “Take a breath, look around, and take the next step.” The student exhales, refocuses, and reaches the top—exhausted, but transformed.
