Educating for the future
The learning journey at Our Lady of Lourdes honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to lead and work both independently and collaboratively.
Educating for the future
The key learning areas
We follow the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) approved curriculum in the key learning areas of:
Religious Education
As a Catholic school we also have a strong religious dimension that runs through all the KLAs and is also formally recognised as the KLA of Religious Education.
Our Lady of Lourdes students take part in formal Religious Education every day, based on the new Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese curriculum that is relevant to our students and to the world they live in.
Religious Education
At Our Lady of Lourdes, our teachers provide engaging and relevant learning experiences. We both challenge and support all students to achieve their very best.
We empower students with the skills and resources to succeed in tomorrow's world. Students are encouraged to ask questions, to learn from mistakes, and to reflect on their learning journey. All students have access to technological devices as part of their learning journey.
Learning support is available for students with diverse needs, as well as enrichment opportunities for gifted and talented students.
As the building blocks for all learning, we have a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy throughout our learning and teaching programs.
Literacy
Our school places a strong emphasis on core literacy skills. Every day, students develop confidence in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Classroom activities are supplemented with fun literacy events like National Simultaneous Storytime and Book Week.
Students with literacy challenges receive evidence-based support with Minilit, Initialit and Reading Recovery programs.
Numeracy
From K-6, students develop a comprehensive foundation in mathematics. Our numeracy lessons grow students' skills in investigating, exploring and applying mathematical concepts to real-life situations. OLOL students enjoy applying maths outside the classroom with Mathletics and Maths Day events.
Children requiring extra support receive early intervention via our Extending Mathematical Understanding program.
We offer a varied curriculum that is engaging and relevant!
