Our Philosophy
At St Marcellin Catholic College, we believe that children learn literacy and numeracy most effectively through planned and intentional play-based experiences that are engaging and stimulating. We believe in providing a balanced approach to teaching and learning that also includes explicit teaching.
We incorporate play and inquiry-based learning, underpinned by intentional teaching where educators are deliberate, purposeful, and thoughtful in their decisions and actions. Educators use their understanding of each child’s development and strengths to build upon existing knowledge, promote ongoing learning and provide authentic learning experiences.
In Year 2, learning environments aim to engage children in critical and creative thinking, problem solving and exploration in a meaningful context.
We promote a culture of resilience and persistence to encourage skills required to be an active member in the world in which they live.
