Welcome to Columba Catholic Primary School Bunyip 'Let your Light Shine' Welcome to Columba Catholic Primary School Bunyip. Through our motto, “Let Your Light Shine”, we aim to provide extensive opportunities to enable each student’s light to shine and to foster the light in those around them and those who need support. At Columba, we joyfully embrace our vision to “Let Your Light Shine” (Mt 5:16), celebrating the God-given dignity, gifts and potential within every child. Guided by the words of Jesus, “I come that you may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10), we strive to nurture students who grow in confidence, compassion and hope. Rooted in the mission of Catholic education in the Diocese of Sale, our school is a place where every learner is supported to thrive—spiritually, academically and personally. Here, children come to know the love of God and recognise themselves as created in God’s image. We provide opportunities for spiritual accompaniment, prayer, and faith experiences that help each child develop a personal and active relationship with God. As a Catholic learning community, we empower our students to understand their world, engage with others with kindness and respect, and explore contemporary expressions of faith and the rich traditions of the Church. At Columba, we walk together as learners and disciples, encouraging every child to shine their unique light for the good of others and the glory of God. Those who seek the Lord lack no great thing - St Columba Columba is part of the Iona-Maryknoll Parish.
