Learning and Teaching
St Patrick's School offers an engaging, contemporary education aligned with Catholic tradition.
Students are taught in three classes, with a Junior Class (Foundation-Year 1), Middle Class (Years 2-3) and Senior Class (Years 4-6). Afternoons are spent in Foundation-Year 2 and Years 3-6 groupings. Students learn in modern and open learning spaces. The classes are well furnished and resourced. Within these learning spaces computer technologies are a valued component of the daily curriculum. Children have opportunities to use iPads and laptops regularly.
We have a highly committed, professional team of teachers and support staff. We are committed to ongoing learning and formal study for our teaching staff in the pursuit of excellence. We have Learning Support Officers who work closely with those students who require extra support. We provide intervention programs such as:
SELL (Supporting Early Literacy Learners)
EMU (Extending Mathematics Understanding)
ERIK (Enhanced Early Reading Intervention Knowledge)
PERI (Phonological Early Reading Intervention)
QuickSmart (Mathematics Intervention Program)
MultiLit (Reading Tutor Program)
THRASS (Teaching Handwriting Reading And Spelling Skills)
to further assist students having difficulty learning.
