Welcome......
Hello and welcome to the St Sebastian's Catholic Primary School website. We are a community dedicated to the provision of high quality, inclusive Catholic education in coeducational classes from Preparatory Year to Year 7.
St Sebastian’s school opened its doors in the beautiful near city suburb of Yeronga in 1937. The Sisters of St Joseph taught the first class of 38 students in 1937 in what is now The Arts Hall. St Sebastian’s is administered by Brisbane Catholic Education [BCE], the educational arm of the Archdiocese of Brisbane. As part of this learning community in diocesan Catholic schools - a community currently comprising 136 schools - St Sebastian's has access to the very significant services provided by Brisbane Catholic Education.
Distinctive curriculum offerings are Information Communication & Learning Technology (ICLT), LOTE (Japanese), Music Program, Health & Physical Education Program, Chess, Choir and Instrumental Music Programs.
If you cannot find what you're looking for on this website, or if you would like any further information about St Sebastian's, please do not hesitate to contact us.

WALK TO SCHOOL
This Friday 18th May we will join
with schools nationwide in "Walk to
school Day" with organised walking
groups. Children who usually walk
to school will of course do what they
usually do. Children (and parents)
who do not usually walk can join the supervised
walking groups. Staff will meet walkers in various
meeting points in the local area between 8:10am and
8:15am; we will then walk safely and together to
school.

ENROLMENTS: During the month of May most of my time has been taken up with Prep interviews. So
far we have a very positive and strong interest for children to start in Prep at St
Sebastian's next year. At present, we are offering places to the siblings of our current
families. All other offers will go out during the last week in May, this is a joint policy
decision with the other local Catholic Schools in the Yeronga, Dutton Park, Moorooka
and Annerley area. Once our Prep places have been confirmed, any other children
wishing to come to St Sebastian's in Prep 2013 will have to go on a waiting list. If you
have a child coming to Prep next year or you have friends who have young preschool
children please ask them consider our wonderful school for their primary school
education. You, our parents are the best advertisement for our school.
