Thank you for taking the time to visit our Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School website. As Principal, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this vibrant community. Our diversity creates a sense of unity.

Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School was established in 1991 as the primary school for St Francis of Assisi Parish in Maida Vale.  The school enjoys a fruitful relationship with the parish, and we work together to nurture the faith experiences for all our students.

As a Catholic community, we continue to place Christ at the centre of all we do at Matthew Gibney Catholic Primary School. Through our beliefs and traditions, we aim to develop the whole person, integrating our faith and culture.

The Matthew Gibney students, staff, parents and Parish community are responsible for the culture we create while maintaining the traditions and charisms of our school’s history. At Matthew Gibney, we hold at our core the impact each person has on other members of our community. Instilling this way of thinking in our students remains our focus and is enhanced by quality relationships and open communication that creates an environment of wellbeing.

Our experienced and dedicated staff are committed to getting to know our students better so that they can teach them better and offer meaningful learning experiences to meet their developmental needs. Parents continue to be the first educators of their children and, by being a part of the Matthew Gibney community, work with staff in this privileged task through mutually supportive relationships.

Enjoy our school website and should you have any further questions, please visit our school for further enrolment information or to make a time to meet with me.

God bless,

Clinton Payne
Principal
