About our school
St Richard’s is a CATHOLIC primary school where:
Catholic children are educated and nourished in the faith and tradition of the Catholic church from Prep to Year 6.
A select number of non-Catholic children (Prep–6) are introduced to and encouraged to consider the faith and tradition of the Catholic church.
Parents, teachers and clergy share the role of guide, pastor, teacher and role model to all children in matters of faith and life and religion based on the gospel values.
The Sacraments of Initiation (Eucharist and Confirmation) are celebrated for and with the children and their families to confirm their Baptism. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is also celebrated.
The children are encouraged to engage in prayer and liturgy.
The gospel values form a foundation for the daily work, play and relationships at school and the children are encouraged to live lives based on the gospel values.
Religious Education lessons are planned based on the To Know, Worship and Love texts and the Old and New Testaments.
The children are taught by teachers in a considered and consistent manner using a shared vision of teaching and learning.
The shared vision is promoted to the parents of the children.
The curriculum is developmental from Prep to Year 6 with the secondary school curriculum in mind.
The eight Key Learning Areas (English, Mathematics, The Arts, Health & Physical Education, Science, Technology, SOSE, LOTE) are taught according to the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS).
The unique and individual emotional, spiritual, physical, personal and intellectual development of each child is catered for according to the availability of our school resources.
