Why choose our school?
St Joachim’s Catholic Primary School Lidcombe is a warm and welcoming community that develops confident, capable and well-rounded students. We value the individual and working for the good of all.
Experienced and approachable teachers know all our students well and this has enabled strong academic results and ensures we cater to children’s interests and passions. A strong faith-based and future-focused education equips St Joachim’s students for the exciting opportunities that lay ahead.
Principal’s Message
The Sisters of St Joseph founded the school in 1885 and remained active in the school until 1984. After that time the Sisters handed the principalship over to lay staff who have continued to uphold the traditions and spirit of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop and her Josephite Sisters.
