St Philip Neri Catholic Primary School is committed to “providing quality education that strives to meet the needs of every child.” The curriculum is underpinned by Catholic values and the school’s Mission Statement. The school endeavours to articulate a Catholic worldview by expressing values as a Catholic perspective statement within each of our curriculum policies.

The school’s Beliefs About Learning statement informs school pedagogy and forms the basis of the instructional decisions made by teachers. The statement nuances and deepens shared understandings of how children learn. As a school community we have identified our Principles of Learning.

We also aim to provide the best education for our students via the processes of shared understanding, consistency, clarity and professional learning. We hope to create an educational community where children experience transformative learning based on shared values and ethical teaching and learning.
