St John’s School is committed to excellence in teaching and learning. As part of this commitment, and as a direct result of an extensive community consultation process initiated in 2003, staff are committed to realising Priority Area 2 of the school’s Strategic Plan 2003 – 2008 “Quality Educational Programs are Experienced”.

The staff, as a learning community, have been able to identify and articulate our shared beliefs about learning. This approach to teaching and learning is grounded in the fact that staff acknowledge all students’ learning needs are important.

To this end, staff are committed to identifying individual student needs through a wide range of assessment practices and are able to make informed judgements about future learning pathways. The Quality Teacher Framework (NSW) is adopted by the staff as a useful tool to support the delivery of quality teaching and learning.
