Our learning and teaching is influenced by Brisbane Catholic Education's Learning and Teaching Framework, Model of Pedagogy and Effective and Expected Practices.

The Learning and Teaching Framework is designed to support teachers in their planning and teaching across the Archdiocese of Brisbane. At Our Lady of the Angels', it aims to inspire and guide us as educators, building on our values and beliefs as a Catholic Christian community.

The Learning and Teaching Framework is central to our beliefs about learning and teaching. At Our Lady of the Angels', we strive to “Shine with Life; Learn with Love; Grow with God" by showing love and respect for ourselves and for each other. Our beliefs about learning unify and inform us when implementing proactive practices and interactions with others in a safe and supportive environment.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

At Our Lady of the Angels’ our learners are at the core of what we do. Our teachers plan, teach, assess and report using the Australian Curriculum and the Religious Education Curriculum from the Brisbane Archdiocese.

At OLA a contemporary catholic perspective and world view is celebrated and embedded throughout the whole curriculum. Catholic Education aims to grow and develop the whole person, informed by an understanding that all are made in the image and likeness of God, therefore worthy of innate dignity. The aim of Catholic Education is to prepare all community members for active and faith-informed participation in an ever-evolving society.
