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:
“This teaching is not practical in the sense in which the New Testament is. It is not always sound sense in practice. The Brahman never proposes courageously to assault evil, but patiently to starve it out. His active faculties are paralyzed by the idea of caste, of impassable limits of destiny and the tyranny of time.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“May my teaching drop like the rain, my speech condense like the dew; like gentle rain on grass, like showers on new growth.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 32:2.
