Learning and Teaching Framework

At St Francis Xavier, we believe that every child can learn. We believe in the power of 'yet' that instils a growth mindset emphasising to students that understanding and mastering skills is a matter of time and effort. We work closely with students to create personalised learning goals and provide the necessary assistance so they can progress in their learning.

We are guided by the Brisbane Catholic Education's Learning & Teaching Framework and Education Model of Pedagogy.

Infographic titled “Learning and Teaching Framework” from Brisbane Catholic Education. The layout features three overlapping triangles labelled “We Believe,” “We Teach,” and “We Learn,” with a central triangle labelled “Our Goal.” Surrounding text sections outline beliefs about learners, teaching, and learning, including references to Catholic identity, lifelong learning, collaboration, and creativity. A strip of small student photos runs along the bottom, and the Brisbane Catholic Education logo appears in the top left.

Infographic showing the Brisbane Catholic Education Model of Pedagogy as a circular diagram with five coloured segments around a centre labelled “Model of Pedagogy.” The segments read: “Focus on learners and their learning,” “Establish clear learning intentions and success criteria,” “Activate multiple ways of knowing, interacting and opportunities for practice,” “Respond with feedback that moves learning forward,” and “Evaluate the effect of teaching on student achievement and success.” Each segment is supported by adjacent text boxes listing strategies such as identifying learner progress, using curriculum, creating visible learning intentions, providing feedback, and evaluating impact. A photo of a student holding playground equipment appears within the circle. Brisbane Catholic Education logo and the statement “We are a faith-filled learning community creating a better future” appear at the bottom.
