Background:

The foundation of St Vincent De Paul RC Primary School dates back to 1859 when the school was founded by the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent De Paul. The popularity of the school meant that it was outgrowing its premises and so, in the early 1970s the senior school amalgamated with St Aloysus Grammar School to form, what is now, Maria Fidelis Secondary Girls School. In 1974 this school moved from Carlisle Place to the present site. The school provides a number of extra-curricular activities, which include sports clubs and coaching, tuition in languages, musical instruments and dance as well as homework and games clubs. There is an active parent-teacher and friends association attached to the school. Parents automatically become members when their child joins the school and are urged to attend the meetings and functions. All curriculum policies and practice at school aim to assist and promote high achievement of all pupils, regardless of race, sex, disability or background. The spiritual development of the school is of paramount importance and permeates every aspect of the school life. The vision of the school is to create a warm, loving, learning environment, to live the gospel and to enable each individual to release their full potential.
