Our Lady Help of Christians School is a vital part of the parish of East Warrnambool, serving families from a mix of cultural backgrounds in both rural and city settings. With an enrolment of 475 and forecast strong growth, OLHC is continuing to enhance our facilities to offer a modern, bright and exciting learning environment. We are also very fortunate to have school grounds, which are spacious with ample area for a variety of recreational and sporting activities. We have tremendous parental support and are known as a close and supportive community.
With our school motto, 'The Way, The Truth and The Light', we offer a comprehensive curriculum, grounded on gospel values and embedded in sound educational theory and practice with students receiving a solid grounding for their secondary education and later life. With a strong emphasis on the arts, we are actively involved in many activities in the local community.
Known for our commitment to every child we offer a strong student welfare program and regularly provide parents with opportunities to participate in programs that assist them in their important role.
Providing a witness to service, we are involved in local programs such as Meals on Wheels and St Vincent de Paul, eagerly anticipated by students who are developing an understanding of the contribution that they can make to their community. A member of the Warrnambool and District Catholic Schools Network, we participate in a variety of inter-school activities providing challenge and enjoyment in preparation for secondary education.
