Our schools focus on educating the whole person by ‘Nurturing Head, Heart, Hands’
At the heart of our schools is a deep commitment to Catholic values and the belief that learning is about the whole person.
We take a practical, well-rounded approach to education that:
- is grounded in our Catholic tradition
- combines faith with the latest understanding of how people learn best (from cognitive science and education research).
We aim to nurture students who are:
- thinkers - encouraged to be curious, capable, and creative
- grounded in faith - growing spiritually and morally
- agents of change - prepared to contribute positively to the world around them.
Learning is seen as a deeply personal and shared journey, shaped by relationships, community, and a strong sense of purpose. Everything we do is focused on helping each child flourish in faith, dignity, and hope.
The CSPD Effective Learning and Teaching Model (ELTM) is the shared approach to learning and teaching used in all our schools. By using this model, our schools stay aligned in key areas such as:
How we assess student learning (formative assessment)
How we support all learners at different levels (multi-tiered system of supports)
How we teach clearly and effectively (explicit instruction)
This ensures every child has the best opportunity to grow, succeed, and feel supported in their learning journey.

Personalised attention and learning
Our schools welcome and value diversity. Our schools ensure that all student’s learning needs are met. What a student learns is developed according to their needs.
Some students may require more detailed personalised learning plans, including students who need additional support or students who would benefit from enrichment programs.
Talk to your school about your child’s needs in order to determine the best pathways or support for them.
