Catholic Identity

The Catholic Life of the School is focused on the second dimension of religious education, commonly referred to as “teaching people to be religious in a particular way” (Moran, 1991). 

The Catholic Life of the School comprises four interrelated components: 

  • ​Religious Identity and Culture
  • Evangelisation and Faith Formation
  • Prayer and Worship; and 
  • Social Action and Justice. 

​Each of these components, while mutually reinforcing, provides a significant focus on a distinctive aspect of the religious life of the school.​​​​​

​School Song


​​For Our Lady of the Rosary School, Kenmore  

Words & Music: Michael Mangan  


On sacred Yuggera and Turrbal country we proudly stand today.   

From ancient dreamtime to here and now time, this has been a holy place.   

The Brigidine sisters started our story, a school for you and me,   

A place to live and love and learn for all the world to see.   


We are OLR, Our Lady of the Rosary,   

Oh, we are OLR, faith-filled community.    


We 'Know, Love and Serve' God in what we do and who we are,   

​I am, you are, we are OLR!   


 Everyone is welcome here, we value diversity.    

We live our faith with joy and hope, in peace and harmony.   

We follow Jesus in the way of Mary in all we do and say.   

We pray and play and work together, every single day.   


 We share and use the gifts we have, we help each other shine.   

We’re proud and strong, we all belong, as we journey side by side.   

Mary MacKillop leads us to compassion and to care,   

As we build a brighter future, and live God’s dream we share.
