Vision for Teaching and Learning

At Marymount Primary School Burleigh Waters, our Vision for Learning is deeply grounded in our Catholic values and the unique potential of every child. We are committed to nurturing a faith-filled and inclusive environment where high expectations, meaningful relationships, and purposeful learning experiences empower students to develop their knowledge, compassion, and confidence.

Our teaching and learning programs are shaped by a dynamic experience which incorporate:

  • Alignment with the Australian Curriculum Version 9 and the Brisbane Catholic Education Religion Curriculum
  • A commitment to the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration, focusing on the needs of learners
  • Respectful integration of Indigenous perspectives and local First Nations knowledge
  • Faith-integrated learning informed by Gospel values and Catholic Social Teaching

We embrace contemporary, evidence-based teaching methods, including:

  • Visible Learning – promoting clarity and enabling students to take ownership of their learning
  • Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) to ensure your success. EDI involves clear, structured lessons where concepts are broken down into manageable steps. This method helps you understand and retain new information effectively
  • Differentiation – personalising learning experiences to cater to diverse student needs
  • Faith in Action – encouraging service, justice, and compassion in all aspects of school life

Our professional teaching teams are dedicated lifelong learners who collaborate, reflect, and innovate to support the success of every child. At Marymount, we are dedicated to shaping learners who are confident, capable, and compassionate students who are ready to make a positive impact in their world.
