St Anthony’s Learning and Teaching Principles
The following principles are the foundation of how we aim to develop a culture of learning in the context of our Catholic faith at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School:
- We are committed to developing a Catholic faith community that ensures growth in faith, life and identity.
- We seek to inspire high expectations for learning and teaching that maximises engagement, progress and achievement for each learner in our school.
- We acknowledge the importance of equity and the right of every student to access an inclusive curriculum that is differentiated and which celebrates the achievements of our diverse learners.
- We believe in the positive influence of research-based whole school approaches which build a common language and suite of common practices to enhance teaching and learning.
- We emphasise student engagement and teacher efficacy.
- We support and develop emerging and current technologies to enhance learning and teaching.
