Classroom Teacher

Welcome to St Rita's School Babinda

As a Catholic primary school, St Rita’s is welcoming to all who seek to share in what our school community has to offer. St Rita’s strives to provide an engaging learning environment that allows all children to achieve their personal best. We don’t simply teach curriculum, rather we aim to develop our young students as life-long learners who are empowered to learn and who are keen to contribute to the 21st century society we live in.

The importance of a holistic education is highlighted in all aspects of teaching and learning at St Rita’s. The development of the mind, body and spirit is recognised as being central to the growth of the individual child. A well-rounded curriculum, which develops the cognitive, physical, social, emotional, creative and spiritual domains, taught in small classes ensures that the most engaging, enriched learning experiences are planned for your child.

Our Vision

St Rita’s will be a compassionate and supportive community built on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, specifically incorporating the Mercy Values which are lived out. We will be a values-based community reaching out to and welcoming the wider community. Our strong school spirit will shine. St Rita’s will be a school in which every member is respectful of self and others. Learners will be Christ-centred, diverse, independent, reflective and connect and engage with the wider community.  Teaching and Learning will be viewed as life-long, holistic and contemporary, using real-life learning experiences. Students will be achieving to their potential and beyond. 

Our Mission

Our Mission is to be a community of faith, fostering fellowship and responding with professional practices to the needs of those entrusted to our care.
