Welcome to the St Columba’s Adamstown. Whether you are already a parent at the school or considering enrolment for your child, I hope that you enjoy the information offered in this handbook. We believe Columba's is an extraordinary school, made so by a long tradition of delivering quality educational experiences. While we enjoy an attractive school setting close to the city of Newcastle and its beautiful beaches I believe our appeal as a school rests in our strong sense of community, the values we celebrate, and providing a balanced education that addresses the academic, social, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of our students' lives. St Columba’s offers education from Kindergarten age to Year 6. Most importantly, you will find a school with warmth, Gospel values and a safe, stimulating educational environment. We value the partnership that we share with parents and understand what we can achieve when we work together. I look forward to our association in the years ahead.

Jenny Howard.
