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. Some of which are the recording studio, Music Practice rooms the computer labs located in T block adjacent to the tennis courts and woodworking facilities. The library contains a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books and is open to students during business hours.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“History is Philosophy teaching by examples.”
—Thucydides (c. 460–400 B.C.)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
