At St Mary's Primary School, our curriculum is designed to inspire and challenge every student, ensuring a vibrant and holistic education. We embrace the key learning areas: Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, HASS, Technology, Health and Physical Education, Languages, and The Arts—each thoughtfully woven into the fabric of daily learning to nurture well-rounded, confident learners.
Guided by the Australian Curriculum and the principles set out by Brisbane Catholic Education, our teaching and learning programs are shaped to meet the diverse needs of our students. Teachers use evidence-based strategies and ongoing assessment to create rich, differentiated learning experiences that foster deep understanding and skill development. We draw from BCE's commitment to excellence, ensuring our planning, assessment, and reporting reflect the highest standards and support every child's journey.
Our Educational Strategy places learners at the heart of everything we do. We recognise that each child is unique—like all others, like some others, and like no other. That's why we set high expectations for all students, encouraging them to reach their full potential and contribute positively to our school and wider community. Through inclusive practices and supportive relationships, we strive to ensure every child feels valued and empowered.
Our teachers are dedicated to modelling the Gospel of Jesus, creating learning environments that are compassionate, engaging, and relevant. They continually refine school-based programs and units of work to keep pace with our ever-evolving society and the needs of our students. By integrating BCE's learning and teaching strategies, we prioritise contemporary approaches that promote critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
We aim for our students to become lifelong, reflective, and self-directed learners who excel as:
- Community contributors
- Quality producers
- Active investigators
- Effective communicators
- Designers and creators
- Leaders and collaborators
At St Mary's, every child is supported to grow academically, spiritually, and socially, preparing them to thrive in a changing world and make a meaningful difference wherever they go.
