Learning and Teaching

Thank you to the Saint Ignatius community for welcoming me into such a wonderful school. I have been impressed by the friendliness and care shown by everyone, as well as the excited anticipation about 2021, not only in my Year 7 English class, but also across Year 7 to Year 12 classes. The staff are very dedicated and there is a great positive energy around the staff offices and in classrooms.

This year our main learning goal is ‘helping students learn to a higher level’. Remote learning in 2020 challenged us in many ways but it also enabled students to take more ownership of their learning. Building on this, in 2021, we will revisit the Saint Ignatius Student Effective Learning Practices which will help support this goal. Staff have already commenced the review process and students will be asked to share their views too.

I look forward to working with the Saint Ignatius community in my role as Deputy Principal [Learning and Teaching] and meeting parents and guardians at the various functions this term.
