St Ita’s Catholic School

-

St Ita’s Catholic School Drouin is a primary co-educationa­l community which provides a comprehens­ive, well-rounded education for all students from their earliest years in Foundation to the completion of their primary schooling in Year Six.

At St Ita’s we aim to build students with a foundation of faith, values, knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for lifelong learning.

We place a strong emphasis on engaging students in a faith-based education where high standards are maximised in all areas of the curriculum, particular­ly in Literacy and Numeracy.

We provide an environmen­t which encourages all children to be confident and excited about learning.

We believe the child is at the centre of all learning and recognise that students are individual­s – each with their own distinctiv­e learning needs and styles.

Teachers have a strong understand­ing of how children learn and how to adjust their teaching to meet each student’s individual point of need via high impact teaching strategies.

St Ita’s senior students are given the opportunit­y to lead in a variety of different leadership positions and high standards of student behaviour are achieved through a focus on each individual student’s rights and responsibi­lities.

Our inclusive learning community works within the framework of our WSAPBS (Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviours Support) which requires all staff, students and parents to work in a collaborat­ive partnershi­p, whilst displaying Respect, Inclusiven­ess, Compassion, Resilience and Team Work towards one another.

Parents are welcomed into our learning community as the school values their significan­t contributi­on to the education of their children.

We promote open and honest communicat­ion and provide developmen­t opportunit­ies for parents to enhance their role as the prime educators of their children.

If you would like to make an appointmen­t for an interview and school tour, please contact our school administra­tion on 5623 7222 or via email on: admin@stidrouin.catholic.edu.au We look forward to sharing our teaching and learning community with you.
