A Message from the Principal

Thank you for taking an interest in Our Lady Help of Christians primary school. We are a proud school community, dedicated to excellent teaching and learning in the Catholic tradition.

Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) has a reputation for being a caring environment where children are nurtured. Our dedicated staff are committed to education and work hard to ensure all our students are challenged and supported in their learning. As a small school, we provide a highly personalised education to our students, taking into account their own individual needs. All of our teaching and intervention programs are informed by research and evidence around what 

We are committed to the education and formation of the whole child. Because of this, we provide ample opportunities for students to develop their academic skills, to build knowledge, and to develop physically, creatively, and spiritually. Our structured learning environments, beautiful grounds and dedicated team of teachers and support staff allow for this holistic education.

We are an inclusive school, and OLHC is open to all the families of Murtoa and the surrounding regions. As a Catholic school, we pass on the teachings and traditions of the Church, and we invite all of our students and their families to participate in prayer and liturgy. We believe that Catholic education is a partnership between the school, the home, and the Church, and work together with the local parish and with our families to provide the best education we can. We are grateful for the ongoing support of our parents.

Since its foundation in 1963, OLHC Murtoa has changed and grown. The extraordinary work of past principals and families means that current students and staff have incredible facilities and grounds to enjoy. It is such a special place to come each day, especially with the opening of our new school building in 2025.

Visitors to the school are most welcome, as are all inquiries regarding enrolments. Come and see for yourself the great opportunities Our Lady's can provide for your child.
