St Laurence's Primary School Forbes

Church Find welcomes St Laurence's Primary School Forbes in Forbes, who are engaged in a revitalisation journey enriching the community, for all their latest times and information including times.

St Laurence’s School is a vibrant community where staff, parents and students work and learn together. Part of St Laurence’s Parish, it is a community in which each student is encouraged to achieve his/her best and be a living witness to our Catholic values. It is the aim of St Laurence’s to give every pupil the opportunity to fulfil his/her potential to the fullest in every respect.

Our patron saint is St Laurence O’Toole. St Laurence’s School in its present form is the amalgamation of St Joseph’s, Sacred Heart and St Laurence’s which took place in 1989. Since the very first school in Forbes (1862) the parish has seen the involvement of the Sisters of Mercy, the Marist Brothers and laity in delivering educational instruction. Our school motto is ‘Walk Tenderly with God’.

St Laurence’s is a co-educational Kindergarten to Year 6 school which is part of the Catholic Education system run by the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes. St Laurence’s aims to make all its members feel welcome and happy in its environment; to nurture faith in God and to provide a sound and challenging educational curriculum based on student needs.
