As a learning community, the staff have been able to identify and articulate our shared beliefs about teaching and learning and the importance of providing rich and engaging learning experiences for all students. This approach to teaching and learning is grounded in the understanding that all students’ learning needs are important and we strive to meet each student at their point of need.
To this end, staff are committed to identifying individual student needs through a wide range of assessment practices and are able to make informed judgements about future learning pathways.
Curriculum
We follow the NSW Board of Studies Curriculum in the Key Learning Areas and the Diocese of Broken Bay Curriculum (K-12) for Religious Education.
