Lourdes Hill College, Hawthorne QLD – Reimagining Education
At Lourdes Hill College, we educate our students with the aim to ignite curiosity and encourage every student to reach their full potential.
An education at LHC is based on the values of peace, kindness and hope, and recognises the importance of diverse skills including critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication.
As our society evolves, LHC has introduced two unique programs that address these competencies and develop skills essential for our fast- changing world.
Global STARS House Project
Our unique Global STARS House Project is a program of learning underpinned by design thinking principles where we encourage our students to think about their impact on the world and how they can make a difference. Students are encouraged to imagine solutions to both local and global issues by using digital technologies such as web design, coding of apps and robotics, 3D imaging and printing and film.
Academic Mentoring Program
The Academic Mentoring Program encourages students to do their best. Students in Years 7 to 12 engage in weekly Academic Mentoring which supports all students on their personal learning journey. The Program teaches skills such as time management, communication and goal setting. Importantly, it teaches students how to balance their school work with other aspects of their lives.
