Our school's logo is inspired in part by our namesake, St Madeleine, early educator and founder of the Society of the Sacred Heart. The logo incorporates the Sacred Heart, surmounted by the cross, representing Jesus' love bought at the cost of sacrifice. The heart is flanked by sheaves of wheat, the symbol of Jesus' self-giving through the Eucharist.

Our history
St Madeleine's Primary was established in 1987 to cater for children in the newly developing semi-rural areas of Kenthurst, Annangrove, Dural, Glenorie and Glenhaven.
St Madeleine's is named in honour of St Madeleine Sophie Barat, who founded the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1800 and whose prime concern was the care and education of children.
Foundation principal of St Madeleine's, Sister of Mercy, Sr Margaret Rowe oversaw the opening of the first stage of St Madeleine's Primary in the Easter of 1987. The new Annangrove Road site welcomed children in Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2. Stage 2 of the school was opened in July, 1989, with the final stage opening on 25 March, 1994.
The motto of St Madeleine's - Love Learning - has always reminded our community that the human and academic excellence we are striving for is worthwhile, and encourages us to pursue our mission with enthusiasm.
For over 35 years, St Madeleine's has continued to grow and evolve, adding to its facilities and undergoing refurbishment to ensure that the school reflects contemporary teaching and learning for today and the future.
