• The College will promote the pursuit of excellence in all academic endeavours within a Christian context where learning proceeds according to the ability of each individual child.
• The use of the Queensland Studies Authority curriculum allows students to be well-grounded in basic literacy and numeracy skills while exposing them to a wider range of understandings and skills.
• Teaching staff endeavour to understand and cater for the learning needs of each child on an individual basis, to recognise and remediate any gaps in learning before the child continues with new work and to set work for each child in each subject area that is ability appropriate. This results in each child gaining and retaining confidence in their learning ability and their ability to progress further because they experience success.
• The multi-age nature of each classroom means that all subjects are taught at a range of levels and students have the opportunity to demonstrate outcomes at their age-appropriate level, at a lower level if they are experiencing difficulty and at a higher level if their ability and understanding allow. Assessment tasks are also set with this in mind.
• Students have the opportunity to demonstrate their strengths and develop their weaknesses through carefully selected learning and assessment tasks. Care is taken to set a range of tasks to suit different learning styles, from practical hands-on to academic research activities.
• Students with exceptional needs, whether a gift/talent, or a learning difficulty/disability are identified through parent interviews, classroom observation and professional advice, and these children are provided with extra classroom assistance and Individual Education Programs where appropriate.
