Our learning and teaching program is based on the Australian Curriculum and Religious Education Curriculum from the Archdiocese of Brisbane. We strive to maximise learning within a quality teaching and learning environment. Teachers and staff recognise the individuality of each student and place the needs of the learner at the centre of their teaching. A number of supporting documents provide values, beliefs and goals for quality learning and teaching.
All phases of schooling at Queen of Apostles are underpinned by The Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Declaration (2019). The Alice Springs (Mparntwe - pronounced as 'M- ban-tua') Education Declaration sets the national vision for education for all Australians and notes two goals:
- The Australian education system promotes excellence and equity.
- All young Australians become:
- Confident and creative individuals
- Successful lifelong learners
- Active and informed members of the community
Additionally, Brisbane Catholic Education's Learning Teaching Framework is designed to support teachers in the planning of learning and teaching and underpins our school Values for Learning and Teaching.
The learning experiences and programs provide for differences in learning abilities and guide individuals to their level of achievement by allowing opportunities for all children to achieve their full potential in all areas.

- Religious Education
