St Louis pupils

Our Philosophy of Education is based on the view that education must endeavour to develop the whole person. The curriculum and life of the school is therefore imbued with the values of the Gospel so that children may become mature Christian adults.

We recognise that it is not enough to inspire pupils to high ideals unless they are given the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills to bring these to fulfilment in the real world. The curriculum in St Louis Grammar School has been organised to provide a broad, balanced, relevant and coherent experience for each pupil. All classes throughout the school are unstreamed, with the exception of Mathematics classes which are set in Years 11 and 12.
