The mission of all those at Our Lady of Lourdes is to work collaboratively in ensuring that we are an authentic Catholic school committed to quality teaching and learning. All individuals are valued and the development and dignity of every person is nurtured and encouraged. To be faithful to our call as a Catholic school, and our vocation as Catholic educators, we give witness to the gospel in order to reflect the light of Christ. Inspired by faith we seek to live the gospel by giving example to those in our care. Our school acknowledges the uniqueness of each individual and provides an environment which is both inclusive and safe. To build relationships which are characterised by mutual respect, responsibility, care and compassion, our community shows acceptance of diversity and acts with justice and fairness. Excellent opportunities are provided for our students to develop academically and spiritually within a caring community. Quality relationships exist between all those who have a stake in our school—students, parents, staff and parish. During the course of the year, we are able to share with the members of our community the marvellous work being undertaken in our school so they may experience education at its best. The emerging Catholic education agenda seeks to encourage teachers and students to be engaged in online learning. At our school we ensure that information technology is used to enhance learning opportunities for all our students. We are committed to the continual upgrading of our hardware and software. At our school there is a focus on child-centred tasks and activity-based learning. The children are exposed to a wide range of experiences as they explore the six key learning areas and Religious Education.
