Learning

At St Patrick’s Primary School, we provide a curriculum that engages and challenges individuals on their learning journey. Because our staff are passionate about their own learning and the quality of our teaching, we take a collective responsibility for ensuring all students progress and have access to the appropriate curriculum.

To have the best education possible, we continually reflect on what we do to improve learning opportunities and keep effective practices. We implement the following research-based strategies that have a real impact on student achievement.

• Promoting Literacy Development (PLD)  
• The Diocesan Approach to Reading  
• Insπre Mathematics 
• Personalised Planning for Learning  
• Essential Skills for Classroom Management  

Our learning environment provides opportunities for children to engage in purposeful and real-life learning. It fosters the capacity within each student to engage in the curriculum so that they have the opportunity to achieve their full potential and become a lifelong learner who thinks critically, creatively and independently. 

A St Patrick’s Primary School education reflects Catherine McAuley’s educational vision for the pursuit of excellence, justice for all and the service of others.
