Vision for Learning & Teaching

As a Catholic Christian community we educate all to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as successful, creative and confident, active and informed learners empowered to shape and enrich our world.

We strive to develop life-long learners who are becoming:

Community Contributors
Reflective and Self Directed Learners
Effective Communicators
Designers and Creators
Quality Producers
Leaders and Collaborators
Active Investigators

The Australian Curriculum informs all of our planning, assessment and reporting at St James.

Teachers at St James follow the Model of Pedagogy that brings together the principles and practices of learning and teaching that leads to success for each learner.
