Learning
St Agnes teaches the same curriculum as government schools. There is however, a strong religious dimension across the curriculum which is most obvious in the subject of Religious Education. The formal Religious Education program follows the diocesan program, ‘Sharing Our Story’. All students study Religious Education as part of their School Certificate studies. A formal Pastoral Care program is delivered by the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education faculty as an adjunct to the PDHPE program and responds to the needs of each year group.
Individual teaching programs have been developed for all funded special needs students. A specialised reading program has been developed for students who are experiencing difficulties in reading.
Targeted Year 10 students are involved in extension classes at Loyola Senior High School in all Key Learning Areas. Students are transported to and from St Agnes Catholic High School to take part in these. The school is also involved in a number of co-curricular activities.

Famous quotes containing the word learning:
“I think it is better to show love by meeting needs than to keep telling my son that I love him. Right now he is learning to tie his shoes. He is old enough, so even though it’s hard for him, sometimes I insist. But once in a while when I see he’s tired I still do it for him, and I have noticed that while I am tying his shoe, he says, “I love you, Mommy.” When he says, “I love you,” I know that he knows that he is loved.”
—Anonymous Parent (20th century)
“We do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Go, throng each other’s drawing-rooms,
Ye idols of a petty clique:
Strut your brief hour in borrowed plumes,
And make your penny-trumpets squeak:
Deck your dull talk with pilfered shreds
Of learning from a noble time,
And oil each other’s little heads
With mutual Flattery’s golden slime.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
