Our Lady of the Way School, Emu Plains

Our Lady of the Way School, Emu Plains We aim to foster a school environment that recognises the unique learning path that each child takes. The school was opened in 1979.

By providing a rich array of stimulating learning experiences we give our students every possible opportunity to:

learn how to be
learn how to think
learn how to choose
learn how to learn
learn how to relate. Miss Shirley Wilks was appointed Principal at that time and remained until the end of 1982. Mr Patrick Magee was then appointed Principal until he retired in July 1992. Mrs Georgina Cox was appointed Principal commencing in 1993 and Mrs Kerry Mahony was Principal from 1995 to 2000. Mr Peter Gibson was Principal from 2001–02, Mr Allan Jones 2003 to 2013, Mrs Sue Veling 2014 to 2018, and Mrs Donna McFadzean 2019 to present. In 1979 the school had a total of 52 children in two classes - Kindergarten and Year 1. By 1983 the school population had grown to 223 in nine classes, some of which were housed in demountable buildings. In October of 1982 a new primary block, comprising eight classrooms, was officially opened and blessed by Bishop Bede Heather, and in 1985 four additional Infants classrooms were added. Adjoining our school is our beautiful parish church which was opened in May 1993. In 2007 ten of our classrooms were refurbished to provide considerably expanded and modern learning spaces. During 2009–10, a further two learning spaces were built and the Kindergarten classrooms were completely refurbished.

2018 -2021 saw the installation of a sensory playground and updated furniture and technology in all of our learning spaces. Our student population is currently 348. As the population of the Nepean/Lower Mountains region continues to grow and expand, we can look towards a very encouraging future where Catholic education can continue to spread the Word of Christ. At OLOW we ensure that the individual learning needs of all students are met.
