The school believes it develops the "whole child" (spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically) in an environment rich in the Catholic tradition.

Kindy, Pre-Primary and Year 1 are educated in the Junior Learning Centre, located across the oval from the main school buildings.

The school offers its students access to a range of specialist learning areas such as Science, Art, Music, Computing and Physical Education.
