About our school

San Sisto College is a leader in critical thinking pedagogy. Since 2018, the College has collaborated with the University of Queensland in piloting its Critical Thinking Program and has been lauded by the university as ahead of the curve in teaching practices in Queensland secondary schools.
Teaching to think is the cornerstone of a San Sisto education, essential in the education of females who tend to be more proficient at memorising facts but under-practised in reasoning and argument. Students are taught to delve into facts and data, ask deeper questions, break down information and arguments and recombine them in different ways, and to evaluate source credibility. They are equipped to discern their choices, analyse media influence and to challenge norms.

These skills prepare students for academic rigour in a tertiary environment, are highly regarded in the workplace and are fundamental to active citizenship, change making and leadership.

Academically or through vocational pathways, San Sisto College provides real-world engagement, with partnerships and collaborations in the tertiary and industry sectors paving the way for great employment and study outcomes. Whatever their interests and choices, San Sisto students are well-prepared for life beyond secondary school.

Targeted learning support, a comprehensive array of co-curricular opportunities including sports aerobics, many team and individual sports, cultural pursuits, social justice, community service, debating and philosophy, plus a collaborative, individualised approach to education ensures San Sisto College meets the learning and wellbeing needs of all its students so that they may become women of integrity shaping the future.
