Learning & Teaching

St Cecilia's Primary School Glen Iris

Our students and their individual learning needs are at the heart of everything that we do at St Cecilia’s. Our classrooms are alive with quality teaching and strategic, needs-based learning. Our students are engaged, focused and secure in their personalised learning environments, where relationships are nurtured to ensure that every child embarks on their most rewarding academic journey, in safe and productive learning environments.

​

We teach every child from their point of need, supporting learning challenges and making authentic links to our local and community. It is our vision to see our students progress to secondary school with the appropriate tools for deep thinking and learning and with a solid understanding of themselves as a learner. 

​

Quality learning at St Cecilia’s provides opportunities for whole-class explicit learning (Tell me), smaller needs-based groups (Show me) followed by independent opportunities (Let me) designed to develop and scaffold a resilient, problem solving and inquiring mind and teach learning skills necessary for school and life beyond.

​

Our approach in the classroom is to provide each child with the opportunity to reach their potential in a supported and inspiring contemporary learning setting. Our contemporary learning spaces are stimulating and inspiring, aiming to meet the varied needs of our students. 

Literacy and Numeracy are our high priority learning areas, as the skills and concepts developed during these core areas strengthen learning across the whole curriculum.
