St Augustine's Primary School

St Augustine’s Catholic learning community is based on St Augustine’s call to be truly successful learners and creative individuals.

Religion first came to the Wodonga area with travelling clergymen who ministered without such visible signs of faith as fine churches, Father Charles Lovat, for instance, arrived from Yass in November 1843 and said mass in the Huon family home, Belvoir, on the elevated site where Cambourne now stands. But Wodonga’s Roman Catholics eventually built what seems to have been the town’s first church, on land granted in 1854. In 1860 there were reported to be great complaints and dissatisfaction about the lack of a Protestant church in Wodonga. ‘We certainly think our Roman Catholic friends have set us an example in this matter, and we should do well to follow it’, an Albury Banner writer observed.
