AT A GLANCE
The PCACS Journey
At PCACS we prepare our students for a fulfilling life based on strong values and character. We want our young people to make good choices and to understand the responsibility of belonging to a flourishing community.
School Vision and Mission
To challenge and inspire a community of purposeful learners who are engaged, caring, connected and aspirational.
School Facilities
Our PCACS Wellard Campus was established in 2007. Ten years later, in 2017, the School community grew when PCACS opened a second Campus located in Calista, dedicated to our Pre Kindergarten to Year 1 students.
