Learning and Teaching
At St George Preca, learning is purposeful, engaging and grounded in best-practice teaching. Our approach ensures that all students experience rigorous, high-quality instruction that nurtures their academic, social and spiritual growth.
We believe in:
- Explicit teaching to introduce and reinforce key skills and concepts systematically.
- High expectations for all learners, ensuring they are challenged and supported.
- Inquiry and problem-solving to develop deep thinking and real-world application.
- Targeted, data-informed instruction.
- Faith-based learning experiences that foster values, ethical decision-making and community engagement.
Every student is entitled to a learning experience that is purposeful and responsive, ensuring their academic, social, emotional and spiritual growth. We achieve this by:
- using high-impact teaching strategies to maximise student success.
- Fostering a growth mindset, where students take risks, persist, inquire and collaborate.
- Developing problem-solving and reasoning skills through engaging and meaningful learning experiences.
- Making connections between concepts and helping students apply their knowledge in innovative ways.
- Encouraging flexible thinking and fluency, particularly in literacy and numeracy.
- Recognising that every child can grow, regardless of their starting point.
- Using data to inform teaching.
We believe that learning should be meaningful, challenging and engaging, building on prior knowledge and providing opportunities for students to practice and apply skills in varied and authentic ways. Collaboration is central to our approach. Teachers engage in ongoing professional learning, working together as a Professional Learning Community to ensure evidence-based, high-quality instruction. A strong home-school partnership is vital in supporting student success. We prioritise effective communication with parents, ensuring they are informed and involved in their child’s learning journey.
