School Catechesis

Enabling our students to experience the fullness of life

(John 10:10)

From our Lismore Diocese website: Why Choose Catholic Education?

Christ lies at the heart of our school's curriculum. We provide our students with a unique faith based educational experience.

Making a choice about the best education for your child is one of the most important decisions parents undertake. We all desire a schooling experience for our children that not only provides them with exceptional educational opportunities, but also nurtures the whole human person.

Choosing a Catholic school in the Diocese of Lismore will provide your child with a unique educational and Faith experience which seeks to form them into young people of faith, hope, purpose and joy. Our schools support each child to develop a commitment to the core values of the faith;

• Love of God
• An opportunity for a personal encounter with Jesus Christ
• Love and service of others
• Integrity, goodness and truth

Our Catholic schools are Christ-centred communities which are built on a commitment to the Gospel. We seek to serve the Gospel by accompanying young people in such a way that they may experience the ‘fullness of life’ (John 10:10) in learning and living well.

What you are seeking from an educational experience for your child may be;

• Diverse learning opportunities
• A commitment to the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical care of each child
• A place of belonging

What’s happening in the classroom?

Our senior students are working hard towards upcoming assessments while Years 7- 9 are also preparing for common tasks aimed at assessing their understanding of the topics studied this term. While “tests” can be stressful for some students they are important summative  markers that indicate student progress. Combined with all kinds of formative assessments teachers are able to tailor student learning plans through the lens of achievement. We recommend that students revise classwork in small chunks on a regular basis, using summary points and other recommended recall strategies to access prior learning.
