College LifeExcellence in Student LearningStudents at St Vincent’s College benefit from a long and fine tradition of learning and teaching success. Our educational philosophy recognises the individuality and giftedness of each student and it promotes the development of her spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical and aesthetic qualities. Personal excellence is encouraged by offering each student a diverse and challenging curriculum tailored to suit her own learning needs and preferences. Our Religious Education and general curriculum reflect the Catholic ethos. Critical enquiry, ethical discernment, commitment to truth and integrity, and personal responsibility for learning independently and collaboratively all provide a sound basis for each student’s academic success. Current and emerging technologies are integrated into all learning and teaching processes, and teaching practice reflects current educational theory. A broad subject choice is offered to equip students to meet the challenges of the information age. TAFE delivered Vocational Education Training courses are available to students seeking dual accreditation through the NSW Board of Studies. Students are encouraged to give creative expression to ideas and feelings through participation in the visual and performing arts. Personal attention is given to those students with special abilities and needs. Careers advice is offered to students on an individual and group basis.
