As part of Sydney Catholic Schools, we employ highly qualified and competent teachers who are accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). To continuously improve our practice, teachers also work towards the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, from proficient teacher to lead teacher level.
The delivery of quality curriculum, pedagogy (teaching methods) and assessment is ensured by our system of schools through the provision of contemporary NESA accredited professional learning in a range of modes. Our Centres of Excellence offer online learning and external face-to-face courses, and timely, collaborative and relevant in-situ learning take place within the context of each classroom. Sydney Catholic Schools’ teachers are strongly committed to their ongoing learning, with many having completed, or are currently undertaking, postgraduate studies in areas related to curriculum, student wellbeing, special education, theology, pastoral care and leadership.
Ongoing professional development is a key component, often delivered through workshops, seminars, and training days that focus on curriculum updates, innovative teaching methods, and classroom management techniques. Collaboration among teachers is encouraged through regular staff meetings where they can share best practices, discuss challenges, and develop cohesive teaching plans. This continuous learning environment ensures that all staff members are equipped to deliver high-quality education that meets the diverse needs of their students.
