STRATEGIC PLAN
  2022 - 2024
VISION STATEMENT

        St Maria Goretti’s Catholic School is a Catholic School that strives to educate and nurture the whole child, in a
        Catholic setting, to function in life.

DEFINITIONS
        EDUCATE:

        To attain knowledge and skills about concepts in all learning areas, through instructing, modelling and facilitating
        learning. This process enables the child to understand and move from where they are to the next level of learning.

        NURTURE:

        To build students’ emotional and spiritual intelligence, using appropriate tools and strategies.

        WHOLE CHILD:

        The spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, and social aspects make up the whole child.

        CATHOLIC ENVIRONMENT:

        A loving and supportive church and school community that teaches Catholic practices with Christ as its model.

         Function in Life:

         To transfer the knowledge and skills needed to become global citizens and lifelong learners who experience healthy
         relationships: to be equipped to overcome adversity and maximise their potential.
