Educating for the future
The learning journey at Our Lady of Lourdes honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to lead and work both independently and collaboratively.

The key learning areas
We follow the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) approved curriculum in the key learning areas of:
Religious Education
As a Catholic school we also have a strong religious dimension that runs through all the KLAs and is also formally recognised as the KLA of Religious Education.
Our Lady of Lourdes students take part in formal Religious Education every day, based on the new Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese curriculum, Encountering Jesus. This curriculum invites all students to consider how the teachings of Jesus Christ can apply to their lives.

Preparing our students for success
Our curriculum and learning programs are focused on providing a strong foundation on which our children can develop and build their lives.
We have adopted a whole-school approach to the implementation of all programs. Our focus is on skill development rather than content knowledge with the aim of producing students who are 'job capable' rather than 'job ready'.
