Our School

What do we offer your child and you as parents?
As teachers, we passionaley believe that students need to be engaged socially, emotionally and spiritually as well as intellectually in their learning.  We achieve this in a community underpinned by Gospel values. 

At St. Columba's we have developed a learning journey for our students and ourselves based on 21st CENTURY LEARNING.  We focus on establishing our students as lifelong learners who are enthusiastically involved in meaningfull activities aimed at making them adaptable, resillient citizens.

A School of the 21st Century
St. Columba’s classrooms are learning centres that foster the
development of 21st Century skills.  Students educational needs are not only met by focusing on the three R’s but also on the three C’s:

• Creativity
• Collaboration
• Critical thinking

We ensure that the needs of our students are met by maintaining up to date technology. In 2020 every student from Kinder to Yr 6 have a designated iPad and Chromebook. 

Family and Community Involvement
At St. Columba’s, we believe that partnerships between the school,
families and the wider community are vital to each students learning journey and character of the school.

We strive to incorporate family and community involvement in all aspects of our curriculum.

We understand the precious gift children are to families and ensure that communication between the school and families is given the
highest priority.
