We ensure every student is provided with a learning program that is contemporary and personalised, in a learning environment that is inclusive, supportive and challenges each student to reach their full potential. Our vision and core values always remain at the forefront of our decisions.
Here's a little about what we offer students and their families at St Columbkille's Corrimal. You can also read more About Us or take a Virtual Tour of the school.
Our Catholic faith is an important and enriching aspect of daily life at St Columbkille's.
At St Columbkille’s, we are committed to creating a caring, safe and supportive environment, so that all individuals, including those with special and diverse needs, feel valued, respected and encouraged to achieve their potential.
The school implements the PB4L framework, which emphasises school-wide systems of support. These include proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours. Positive behaviour supports are implemented for all students, across all school settings, by all staff, at all times. This results in creating and sustaining school-wide, classroom and individual systems of support, to improve students’ academic and social outcomes.
Students are encouraged to show responsibility for their learning, their faith and one another.
Pastoral care and wellbeing are also a focus at St Columbkille's. We aim to develop the whole person – intellectually, spiritually, physically and emotionally – and create vibrant and positive environments in which all students support each other and are encouraged to reach their full potential.
