Inquiry Learning
At St. Gerard’s our students are encouraged to inquire and investigate 'Big Picture Ideas', enhancing their understanding of themselves and their world. We combine Religious Education and Inquiry Learning to support our students in a faith based interpretation of their world.
We endeavour to develop the potential of all students to participate and contribute to their community and the contemporary world.
