OUR VISION
The Vision for the College from its inception was to provide an ongoing Catholic education for students of the Scenic Rim with a rural heritage valuing creative, contemporary and innovative learning, through quality teaching, in an environment of engagement and partnership with the local community.
OUR MISSION
McAuley College is a welcoming community shaped by the touchstones of BELIEVE ∙ LEARN ∙ SERVE.
BELIEVE – a community built on faith
LEARN – a community committed to delivering learning that is contemporary and innovative
SERVE – a community inspired by the example of Jesus and Catherine McAuley to be of service to others; committed to social justice in our local and global community.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY and AIMS
All phases of schooling at McAuley College are underpinned by Brisbane Catholic Education's Learning and Teaching Framework and 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
Curriculum design and delivery at McAuley College is grounded in the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration and is mindful of the declaration's goals. In alignment with the declaration, which promotes excellence and equity, we support students to achieve high standards and provide structures and adjusted strategies that enable equitable learning experiences. This is achieved within a faith-filled learning environment in which we are committed to supporting students to become confident and creative individuals, successful lifelong learners and active and informed members of the community.
