Learning at Mother Teresa
​In pursuit of the goals of lifelong learning, each child at Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School will participate in an outcomes approach to learning. An outcomes approach is built on the belief that all children will achieve their expected educational outcomes over time, given a broad range of opportunities within a variety of contexts. Outcomes beyond those expected to be achieved will become goals for many children. Our program is both rigorous and flexible to enable such opportunities.
The promotion of each student’s progress and achievement is regarded as everyone’s responsibility. Learning and teaching is visible and occurs when learning is the explicit goal and feedback is given and sought from both teachers and students. Both of these elements are pivotal in moving learning forward.
Our teachers, staff and students all become actively and passionately engaged in learning. A shared language of learning is evident in all classrooms and effective practices are consistently implemented across the school.​
At Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School, we aim to provide a holistic curriculum that enhances the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social a​​nd physical development of students. By adopting a continually innovative approach to teaching, we strive to make learning relevant to the individual in their local and global context. Continuity of learning will be enriched by collaborative partnerships with all community stakeholders.​​​
The Australian Curriculum is designed to help all young Australians to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens. Presented as a developmental sequence of learning from Foundation - Year 10, the Australian Curriculum describes to teachers, parents, students and others in the wider community what is to be taught and the quality of learning expected of young people as they progress through school.
​The three-dimensional design of the Foundation – Year 10 Australian Curriculum recognises the importance of disciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding alongside general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities.
Disciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding are described in the eight learning areas of the Australian Curriculum:
English.
Mathematics.
Science.
Health and Physical Education.
Humanities and Social Sciences.
The Arts.
Technologies.
Languages. (Indonesian learned at Mother Teresa)
The latter four learning areas have been written to include multiple subjects, reflecting custom and practice in the discipline. In each learning area or subject, content descriptions specify what young people will learn, and achievement standards describe the depth of understanding and the sophistication of knowledge and skill expected of students at the end of each year level or band of years.​

Student Travel Rebates
Since 1997 the Queensland Government has provided ?funding to enable the non-state school sector to administer a transport assistance scheme for students attending non-state schools.
The Scheme is known as the Non State Schools Transport Assistance Scheme (NSSTAS). Â
NSSTAS consists of two programs:
-
Bus Fare Assistance Program (BFAP), and
-
Students With Disability transport assistance program (SWD).
The purpose of the Bus Fare Assistance Program (BFAP) is to provide financial assistance to families who pay more than a nominated weekly threshold in bus fares to transport their students to a non-state school located outside the Brisbane City Council boundary. Â
Parents, guardians or carers applying for travel assistance may submit an online application form available during the month of May for Semester One and October for Semester Two on the NSSTAS website at http://www.schooltransport.com.au/
For information regarding eligibility and to apply online, please click here?.
One of the most important decisions we make as parents for our children is the school we choose for their education.
