EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT AND SO IS HIS OR HER LEARNING JOURNEY

Our approach to learning puts the growth of each individual child at the heart of schooling. Schools in the Diocese of Parramatta are places of wonder, exploration and endless possibilities. St Bernadette's welcomes and truly values each student in our diverse and multicultural learning community.

Each child’s unique strengths and needs guide the design of the learning opportunities we provide to our students.

After all, learning how to learn is equally important as what we learn!

INSPIRED LEARNING AND TEACHING STARTS WITH HIGHLY MOTIVATED AND PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS

Like you, we know that great teachers make a real difference in a child’s life. Our teachers are lifelong learners too and regularly undertake professional development to keep up to date with current best practice in education. Our expert teachers will tailor teaching to meet your child at their point of need, track how they are progressing, and respond with extra support when needed.

OUR LEARNING JOURNEY

The Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Learning Journey honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the workplaces of the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to work collaboratively.

SUPPORTING STUDENT LEARNING

We understand that students learn and develop skills at different rates. Some students require the additional support of our Diversity Team, a team dedicated to assisting students to develop skills and strategies that will enable them to better access regular classroom learning. Support services include:

  • matching available support programs to students' needs
  • administering specialist intervention programs ( e.g. Reading Recovery, Extending Mathematical Understanding)
  • liaising with and supporting families
  • managing the Personalised Plan process for students with additional needs.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education

Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) recognises and respects the heritage, spirituality, cultures and deep connection to Country of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

An understanding of Aboriginal spirituality is incorporated into Religious Education programs, prayer and liturgy. A number of our schools have dedicated yarning spaces, cultural groups and inclusive Aboriginal Cultural Programs. Working closely with Catholic Schools NSW and all CSPD staff, our Jarara Cultural Centre is an integral part of how we share culture, build capacity and provide pastoral care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families.
