By connecting to the real world of students’ lives, authentic learning enables students to become lifelong learners who contribute to society and the wider world as active and discerning citizens. Authentic learning is central to our work as Catholic educators because it promotes the continual growth and wellbeing of the whole person — spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.

Each phase is supported with ongoing monitoring and assessment of teaching and learning. This approach ensures that teaching is responsive and effective, fostering an environment where students can thrive and achieve their full potential.
The Leader of Teaching and Learning, aims to develop a shared understanding of educational goals and strategies within our school community, facilitating collaboration among key stakeholders for the education of our children.
