Inspired by a Proven Model
Our educational approach draws on the Parents for Education (Pared) model, developed over decades and implemented successfully across schools in Australia and New Zealand. Pared schools are known for their strong academic culture, close partnership with parents, and commitment to forming the whole child - intellectually, morally, and spiritually.
Our distinctive SALT (Scripture and Liturgy Teaching) approach immerses students in the life of the Church - using hands-on materials, Scripture, and the rhythm of the liturgical year to foster deep, reflective faith.
For literacy, we use the Spalding Education International method, a structured, phonics-based approach that explicitly teaches spelling, reading, and writing - ensuring every child develops strong, confident language skills from the ground up.
What this looks like in practice
In the classroom, this means students engage daily with Scripture and prayer in a calm, reflective environment, learning to encounter the faith personally rather than simply study it. At the same time, literacy is taught step by step through explicit instruction - students learn the building blocks of language, practise them consistently, and gain the confidence to read and write with precision and understanding.
