Learning & Teaching

Education in the 21st Century has undergone extensive change and the contemporary approach your child experiences at St Augustine's will likely be very different to your own experience of school.

We embrace the complex requirements placed on schools, Australian Curriculum and current scholarship to be adaptable in our approach, flexible in our classroom settings and focussed on individualised child directed learning.

Our school has facilities, resources and professional learning that enables each child to flourish: to be critical thinkers, collaborative participants, effective communicators and creative problem solvers. These skills will be just as important as the traditional 3Rs - reading, writing, and arithmetic - as we move further into the digital age.

In fact, research says the jobs our children will have in the future are not in existence yet, and that our children will be more than likely to have six different careers during their working life.

Our children are competent and capable. Education no longer solely prepares them for something unknown in the future but utilises their wisdom here and now.

We acknowledge the Kaurna people as traditional custodians of the land on which we meet and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia.
