Teaching
Catholic College is divided into six Houses; Hollows (yellow), Malone (green), da Vinci (blue), Chisholm (red), Gandhi (orange) and MacKillop (purple).
Students start the day in their homebases. Homebases contain students from a single house and across a variety of years. The objective of homebase is to encourage friendships across year levels, and announce relevant school news. Each homebase is co-ordinated by a teacher who is the primary contact for students in their group regarding school or administrative issues. They also provide the students with academic references.
There is a range of classes available and the school has a number of learning tools. The school enjoys many luxuries.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
“It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“Like a prophet, you are possibly teaching us about the workings of the divine mind, but in the process you are ruining the human mind, dear friend.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
