At St Jerome's Primary School,
we are committed to providing a
high-quality, Christ-centred education
that inspires every child to learn,
grow and achieve their personal best.
Our approach combines high expectations,
strong relationships and evidence-informed
teaching practices to ensure that
learning is purposeful, engaging
and meaningful.
Through our ongoing school improvement
journey, we continually evaluate
and strengthen the quality of teaching
and learning across the school.
We believe that the right strategy,
chosen for the right purpose and
guided by evidence, enables deep
and meaningful learning.
Our Approach to Teaching and Learning
Our teachers work collaboratively to design and deliver a curriculum that is knowledge-rich, carefully sequenced and responsive to student learning needs. Research-informed approaches, effective assessment and a commitment to professional growth guide our work in every classroom.
Evidence-Informed Practice
Teaching decisions are informed by educational research, student assessment and evidence of learning progress.
Effective Teaching
Explicit instruction, modelling, guided practice and timely feedback help students build strong foundations and develop increasing independence.
Success for Every Child
High expectations, inclusive practices and appropriate support and challenge help every student experience progress and achievement.

Curriculum Planning and Continuous Improvement
Curriculum planning at St Jerome's
is guided by the School Curriculum
and Standards Authority (SCSA),
the Western Australian Curriculum
and the Early Years Learning
Framework for our youngest learners.
Religious Education is guided
by the curriculum and directives
of Catholic Education Western Australia.
Our teachers work collaboratively
to develop coherent and carefully
sequenced learning programs.
Where appropriate, meaningful
connections are made between
learning areas while maintaining
the knowledge, skills and
expectations of each discipline.
Through professional learning,
assessment, moderation and
analysis of student progress,
we continue to refine our
teaching practices and strengthen
learning outcomes for every child.
At the heart of our curriculum is
the belief that education is about
much more than academic achievement.
As a Catholic learning community,
we seek to nurture young people
who are knowledgeable, compassionate,
resilient and guided by the teachings
and example of Jesus Christ.
In partnership with families,
we strive to create a school
environment where every student
is known, valued, supported
and challenged to achieve
their personal best.
