Our priority is knowing our students well. Our teachers know their students and work with them to help them realise their potential as learners. Our focus on authentic learning and authentic assessment ensures that we challenge our students to grow in their learning and achieve their personal best so that they can thrive as learners.
Throughout our community of Sydney Catholic schools, we have shown strong performance of our students in measures such as NAPLAN and the HSC. At St Therese Catholic Primary School we use a variety of assessment methods to develop a comprehensive understanding of each student’s strengths and areas for growth Kindergarten to Year 6. By doing this, we are able to target interventions and set meaningful learning goals tailored to each child. Teachers closely track student progress to ensure effective strategies are consistently applied.
Opportunities exist for all students to shine and demonstrate success, internally and across the local community. Differentiated learning, leadership development, subject-specific extension/enrichment groups, representative sport, public speaking, creative arts – including dance competitions, creative arts and chess are encouraged and promoted.
