Educating for the future
The learning journey at St Madeleine's 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 future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to lead and work both independently and collaboratively.
Educating for the future
The key learning areas
We follow the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) approved curriculum in the key learning areas of:
Religious education
As a Catholic school we also have a strong religious dimension that runs through all the KLAs and is also formally recognised as the KLA of Religious Education.
St Madeleine's students take part in formal Religious Education every day, based on the new Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese curriculum, Encountering Jesus. This curriculum invites all students to consider how the teachings of Jesus Christ can apply to their lives.
Religious education
Teaching and learning is often integrated across several curriculum areas rather than taught as separate and discrete subjects.
We believe that as with most aspects of learning in life, learning at school is not something that can easily be separated into distinct areas.
Learning at St Madeleine’s is characterised by the use of a broad range of teaching practices designed to target the specific needs and learning preferences of each student. These practices help students to become independent workers capable of working collaboratively and co-operatively in teams.
We offer a varied curriculum that is engaging and relevant!
