History
Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School Fairfield was established in 1928 and staffed by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart until 2000. Originally founded on Weston Street, the school moved to its present site in 1992. Following major construction and refurbishment projects from 2007–2010, the school continues to expand and revitalise its facilities to create a vibrant, modern learning environment.
Charism
The Josephite charism, instituted by St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, is a proud part of the school’s heritage. The Sisters continue to have a presence in the school as staff members and help to enliven our students with the Josephite values. We continue to celebrate, historically, our multicultural Catholic community in close association with the Fairfield Parish.
