Fullness of Life Framework

Guided in Gospel values and grounded in the Catholic tradition, our Fullness of Life Framework enriches each student's learning experience.

The Fullness of Life Framework defines the essential domains of Catholic education in the Diocese of Lismore. We believe that every child is created in the image of God and is the focus of all we do. Each member of our passionate learning and support staff is committed to this statement through their role in Catholic education.

Our Mission at St Mary's is 'to enable each student to achieve the fullness of life' (John 10:10). This inspires our Fullness of Life Framework.

The Fullness of Life Framework guides all we do in St Mary's to realise the Mission the Church has entrusted to us. Every domain of this framework seeks to support the student by ensuring quality learning experiences, a pastorally caring environment, strong partnerships with families and the community and leadership in the school that supports and promotes the Catholic Mission of our school.

The framework domains, as illustrated to the right, are:

  • Mission
  • Pastoral Care
  • Catholic Leadership
  • Learning and Teaching
  • Family, School and Community Partnership

At the centre of the framework is the student, who is the focus of the policies, practices, programs and decisions we make. Our efforts in all of these domains are aimed at supporting students' hopes, and aspirations for a life lived well.
