A Message from our Principal
St Vincent’s seeks to provide a quality Catholic learning environment reflecting the Mercy Qualities so that its students are faith-filled and prepared to make a difference. We aspire to be a community, which truly reflects the vision of God’s love for all.
We value family and community engagement as we grow and nurture a connected community. Proud and True is the St Vincent’s Business Directory and it’s a great initiative that we launch here in its inaugural edition. Proud & True allows our families and our community access to key information to support the school year and a variety of businesses within the St Vincent’s school community.
The businesses advertising in Proud & True are either families in the school or they are businesses who have a strong connection to St Vincent’s. Our intention is that all families are able to confidently use these businesses, trusting that they will be cared for and looked after.
My sincere thank you to all the St Vincent’s families and businesses who have advertised in our very own publication. I would like to acknowledge the professionalism, the efficiency and the creativity Casey McDonald (Parent Reception) and of Ben Ryan and the ADV Collab Team, who have delivered the Proud & True Business Directory.
Kind regards,
David Sewell PRINCIPAL

Vision, Mission, Values & Mercy Qualities
Our Catholic parish school community at Clear Island Waters honours its founding influences, the Sisters of Mercy, the Venerable Catherine McAuley, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, St Vincent de Paul and Father Neal Shannon. Our shared belief in Jesus Christ inspires our vision to make a lasting and positive difference to all.
St Vincent’s School acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of the Yugambeh language region; the land on which we work and learn, paying respect to their Elders: past, present and emerging. The school values our shared stories and well-resourced learning environment, as a safe place in which to learn and develop. We are enriched by the contribution of our past and present school community. We strive to share our gifts and talents and reach out to others.
At St Vincent’s School we draw on the richness of our Mercy heritage. Our school motto, Misericordia, means mercy. Mercy is God’s compassion; God’s loving kindness reaching out to all. Mercy is love in action. Misericordia highlights our historical connection to the spirit of the Mercy Sisters, founded by Catherine McAuley.
We recognise St Vincent de Paul, a priest, after whom our school is named. Vincent lived a life of service. He revolutionised religion by accepting the challenge to witness to his faith. Leading others he returned to the basics Jesus taught; feeding the hungry, comforting the afflicted, nursing the sick, caring for children and the elderly.
We acknowledge that our school covenant guides our daily actions. Together our community is called to contribute to the shared
stories and vibrant memories of St Vincent’s School. Our covenant, together with the attributes of our religious patrons, Vincent and Catherine provides us with our Mercy Qualities:
• Care and Responsibility
• Justice and Service
• Spirituality and Faith
• Excellence and Optimism
At St Vincent’s we strive to live our everyday lives according to the Mercy Qualities. Together, staff, children and parents endeavour to build and maintain a community which values quality relationships and where we each strive to be more like Jesus.
The Mercy Qualities Program seeks to further develop our children as well-rounded community members who are challenged to live the gospel of Jesus Christ every day.

Our Founders & House Colours
Mackillop – Blue
At St Vincent’s, we celebrate the life of St Mary of the Cross Mackillop. Mackillop House, (blue) is named after Mary Mackillop who was canonised as Australia's first saint in February 2010. She was the founder of the Sisters of St Joseph. Her life was dedicated to giving quality education to children, especially those who were poor, sick and homeless. Mary was a courageous, determined, generous woman whose vision has helped millions of people through the work of the Sisters of St Joseph.
Vincent - Green
At St Vincent’s, we celebrate the life of St Vincent de Paul. Vincent House, (green) is named after Vincent de Paul, a priest who dedicated his whole life to the service of the poor. Like Jesus, Vincent went to people who were not welcome in their society. He fed the hungry, comforted the afflicted, nursed the sick, cared for children and for the aged, visited the imprisoned and buried the dead. St Vincent founded the Vincentian Fathers and the Daughters of Charity whose work continues his service to the poor and the marginalised. The St Vincent de Paul Society founded by Frederic Ozanam also strives to live out the vision of St Vincent de Paul.
St
McAuley - Red
At St Vincent’s, we celebrate the life of the venerable Catherine McAuley. McAuley House, (red) is named after Catherine McAuley who founded the order of the Sisters of Mercy. The Sisters of Mercy taught at St. Vincent’s from its beginning in 1948. Catherine wanted her sisters to be like Jesus: compassionate, humble and sincere, friendly and affectionate, sensitive to the needs of others, simple yet courageous. Mercy is God’s compassion, God’s loving kindness reaching out to us when we suffer spiritual and material poverty. Misericordia; Mercy is God’s love, in action.
Shannon - Yellow
At St Vincent’s, we celebrate the life of Fr Neal Shannon. Shannon House, (yellow) is named after Fr. Shannon who was the first parish priest in the Surfers Paradise Parish. Fr. Shannon had a burning desire to educate the whole person in the best possible surroundings. He was caring and compassionate and possessed a great sense of humour. He co-ordinated the building of the brick church and school in 1948 and oversaw the further development of the site. He dedicated St. Vincent’s to the memory of those who served our country in various wars.
Vincent’s Primary School Clear Island Waters 7
Our History
St Vincent’s Primary School has seen enormous growth since its establishment in Surfers Paradise in 1948. From its humble beginnings as a single storey building with an enrolment of 30 students it is now the second largest Catholic School in the Archdiocese of Brisbane. Many dedicated and passionate people have contributed to the development of our vibrant and flourishing community.
In 1946, Fr Neal Shannon was appointed the first Parish Priest of the newly formed Surfers Paradise Parish. The small wooden church, opened in 1948, where the Watermark Hotel now stands. It held 60 parishioners and provided classrooms for a much needed parish school. Today, Sacred Heart Church seats approximately 1000 parishioners. The Sisters of Mercy were appointed to administer and service the educational and spiritual needs of the children of the parish and Sr. Mary Flora was appointed as the first Principal. The church continued to be used as a school and as enrolments increased to 150, a second storey was built in 1954. An extensive building program was initiated shortly after to satisfy an ever growing school population. A new parish church was built in 1963.
In 1970, another six classrooms were built, followed by two more at a later stage. During this period six Mercy Sisters were appointed as Principals, with Sister St Anthony being the last. The first lay Principal, Mr Brian Dunlea was appointed in 1975.
In 1986 Sacred Heart Parish Church and St Vincent’s Primary School were established in Clear Island Waters after Dr Owen Oxenham, the parish priest, initiated the move from Surfers Paradise. A beautiful new school, located in very pleasant surroundings beside a lake, was opened in June with 200 students, and 20 staff. Mr Jim O’Brien was Principal. The involvement of the Mercy Sisters concluded in 1992 with the departure of Sr. Agnes Kearney. However, St Vincent's School proudly continues to honour its founders, the Mercy Sisters and our patron St Vincent de Paul.
The school’s growth continued under the leadership of Principals, Mr Paul Allen, Mr Greg Myers, Mrs Kerry Rowlands and Mr David Sewell and today has over 800 students. Our welcoming Catholic community works together to ensure the joy of shared stories and vibrant memories for all.

St Vincent’s School Song
Adapted from original lyrics by Peter Bartlett
We were founded in Surfers Paradise A one room school in a city of lights. And over the years we’ve developed with the coast To Fairways today we are the most.
Chorus
We are St Vincent’s proud and true, We’ll stick together in everything we do. Jesus is in us, you and me, Misericordia – Mercy.
We’ve MacKillop and McAuley, Shannon, Vincent too. Our colours are red, green, yellow and blue. It’s sport every Friday, we always try our best, The other teams put us to the test.
Chorus
Our cultural program is to teach, Music and dancing, drama and speech. Our Robotics team is hard to beat, And Italian language we learn to speak.
Chorus
We’ve community spirit at our school, Our friends and teachers are all so cool. Every day we learn and play, It makes me happy so I say.
Chorus
St Vincent’s School Prayer
Loving God, We the community of St Vincent’s ask you to guide us on our journey. Help us to make positive choices by valuing the Mercy Qualities at our school and in our lives. We celebrate the diversity of our community and the opportunities we are given. Through your love, unite our hearts, hands and voices as we grow, learn and celebrate life together. Amen
Parents and Friends Association
The Parents & Friends Association is an integral part of the Catholic school community in the archdiocese and provides a formal structure for parents and others interested in the welfare of the students to plan and organise activities for the benefit of the school, and the ongoing development of students.
In particular the Parents & Friends Association:
• provides an avenue of support and information to aid the involvement of parents/carers in their children’s education and the school community
• promotes the development of collaboration between parents/carers and school staff
• promotes the principles of Catholic education and a distinctive Christian community/environment in the school
• provides an opportunity to participate at school community, archdiocesan, state and national levels.
While other groups may be active within the life of the school, no group other than the Parents & Friends Association can represent the interests of the whole parent body at any school.
These associations endeavour to support school communities and improve the flow of information between parents and the peak bodies that represent parents and friends at state and national levels. One way this occurs is by:
• interpretation and dissemination of information to schools in the diocese
• support and focus on parent involvement and development across the diocese
• support for the Federation of P&F Associations Queensland in pursuing school community concerns in the diocese.
• provision of an advocacy service for school communities.

Positive Behaviour 4 Learning
St Vincent’s is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) School. PB4L is about people, practices, and processes – it is not a program, but the way that we interact & operate here at St Vincent’s - The Mercy Way
St Vincent’s promotes behaviours that align with our Mercy Qualities in order to:
• Improve the social behavioural climate.
• Support or enhance the impact of academic achievement.
• Increase proactive, positive, preventive management while decreasing reactive management.
• Integrating academic and behaviour supports.
• Improving services for all students, including students at risk and students with identified disabilities.
An important component of PB4L is a continuum of behavioural supports that, like academic instruction, acknowledges that students will need differing levels of behavioural interventions and support to be successful at school.

Learning & Teaching at St Vincent’s
In the spirit of contemporary education and in partnership with parents, our school focuses on essential learning, student growth and 21st century education.

We expect all to achieve to the best of their ability, enriching their talents through challenging, exciting and contemporary educational experiences.
Learning Areas
Education
At St Vincent’s we collaboratively plan and implement the Australian Curriculum and the Brisbane Catholic Education Religious Education Curriculum.

Differentiated curriculum is strategically managed by the classroom teacher in collaboration with the PLL, STIE and/or Enhancement Teacher.
Learner Qualities

Testimonial
Avalon kept me grounded during the roller coaster ride of selling my home and remained consistently positive, prompt and professional at all times. But none of this would not have been possible without Alex, he has incredible knowledge of the market and is a dynamic negotiator.
Avalon and Alex are the “Dream Team”...
They come highly recommended. Lisa and Craig - Mermaid Waters
