Curriculum
At St Mary’s, our curriculum is enhanced through the rich tapestry of the Australian Curriculum Version 9, ensuring our students receive an education that is not only current, but also comprehensive.
In conjunction with the Australian Curriculum, our curriculum planning draws insights from the Queensland Studies Authority and the Diocese of Toowoomba Learning Framework. We understand that learning is a dynamic process, influenced by diverse cultural backgrounds, learning styles, prior experiences, and motivations. In response to our ever-evolving society, we are in a constant mode of refining our programs and units of work.
At St Mary’s, we cover the following Key Learning Areas:
- Religious Education (RE)
- English
- Mathematics
- Science
- Humanities and Social Science (HASS)
- Technologies (Digital Technologies & Design and Technology)
- Health and Physical Education
- The Arts, including Visual Art, Music, Media Arts, Drama, and Dance
- LOTE (Auslan)

To offer our students the best learning experiences, we're proud to have a team of highly-trained specialist teachers who bring deep expertise to the Arts subjects, Physical Education, and LOTE - Auslan. The distinct advantage of having experts in these fields is that students benefit from an enriched, specialised approach, ensuring they receive a robust foundation in these subjects.
Staying up to date with the latest developments, our teachers have actively engaged in professional development centered around the Australian Curriculum Version 9. This continual upskilling guarantees that our pedagogical methods align with the evolving demands of contemporary education.
Flexible Learning Environments:
Recognising the diverse needs of our students, we've cultivated learning environments that are flexible and tailored throughout the school. Differentiated spaces cater to the varying ages and abilities of our students, promoting an atmosphere where each learner thrives.
At St Mary’s Warwick, we are committed to fostering a Positive School Culture where every student feels safe, valued, and supported in their learning journey. Guided by our Catholic identity and a strong foundation of effective communication, we prioritise positive relationships, inclusive learning, and proactive support to ensure success for all.
Our approach includes clear behavioural expectations, positive reinforcement, and logical, consistent consequences, alongside targeted programs that nurture social skills and emotional well-being. Through initiatives like RISE UP awards, small group programs, and individual behaviour and wellbeing support, we celebrate growth and encourage positive choices.
By adapting the curriculum to meet diverse needs (MTSS) and working in partnership with families and local providers, we create an environment where students flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. St Mary’s Warwick is a place where every student belongs and thrives.
