Our vision for St Oliver Plunkett School is to be a welcoming, respectful and compassionate community within a Catholic educational environment, built on Christian values, and commitment to excellence, truth and justice.
St Oliver Plunkett Catholic Parish School Community, being part of the local church, shares the vision of Christ who welcomed all. Our mission is one of proclaiming, living and celebrating the good news with justice, truth, care and compassion.
The following statements express the ideals of the entire community of St Oliver Plunkett’s in fulfilling this mission:
We will endeavour to:
- Instil our commitment to excellences, truth and justice through teaching the beliefs, practices and values of the Catholic faith and celebrating these through liturgies.
- Provide quality educational programs to support the individual and communal learning needs of students.
- Foster an open, welcoming interaction between families and school, inviting contribution and involvement with each other in a respectful, caring and appropriate manner.
- Liaise with organizations to build partnerships, that promote citizenship and democratic values, and to develop community awareness and support.
The curriculum content presented at this school supports a respect for individual differences, encourages personal excellence and promotes in children a desire to learn. The school endeavours to promote the development of thinking and questioning skills so that children may develop as worthwhile members of our society able to visualise, initiate and participate in their future. Christian values are the basis of the school’s curriculum. Subjects taught at St Oliver Plunkett follow the Key Learning areas out by the Queensland State Education Department and in line with directives from the Brisbane Catholic Education Office.
