The College’s education framework is underpinned by a program of philosophical inquiry supported by the University of Queensland’s
Critical Thinking Project. Philosophy helps students to reflect deeply, analyse arguments rigorously and articulate their thoughts with clarity and respect. The emphasis is on thinking as a community and working together to explore significant concepts. The pedagogical approach used in Philosophy addresses several general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum, such as Critical and Creative Thinking, Ethical Understanding, and Personal and Social Capability. As such, it is instrumental in helping students develop 21st century skills that are necessary for effective participation at university or in the modern workforce.

The College embraces modern pedagogical practices that prioritise and nurture each student’s unique learning journey. Dedicated literacy and numeracy coaches support contemporary, evidence-based teaching practices that build the capacity and capability of every student to achieve their potential.

With modern state-of-the-art facilities and creative spaces that enhance learning and collaboration, San Sisto College provides the best possible environment to empower young women in their learning and supports students to succeed as influential and compassionate leaders.
