Let's get to know each other

    Hello, and thanks for helping us out by doing this survey, it is really most appreciated. Before getting started,  so you can get to know us a little bit, you may want to check out our About page.
    The Western Australian Curriculum will be tailored at Saint Theodore of Canterbury to emphasise the Classics with its own set of subject-specific textbooks.
    ​A classical education builds its foundations on the best that Western civilisation has to offer. It uses the great works of literature primarily to help pupils build and deepen their imaginations and the content of their mental experience within the broader framework of questions and issues with which previous ages have had to wrestle and to solve.
    ​We believe that it is important to train pupils in the performing and visual arts so that they can be wonderful creators of culture in the future. Do you think it desirable for your child to pursue the great traditions and training in the more classical Performing Arts (Classical Music, Classical Dance, and Classical Drama) in their formative years to foster and develop their abilities to express themselves and to develop their creativity?
    During music classes, great emphasis will be placed on singing and instrumental ensembles.
    All classes and activities will aim at helping our students become articulate, well-rounded and expressive individuals, whose souls are nourished, and who will be ready to find creative solutions and approaches as they participate in the ever-changing contemporary world.
    Our aim is to begin and end the day with prayer. In the Ordinariate tradition this is in the form of Mattins and Evensong. These take roughly 25-35 minutes and contain daily scripture readings, psalms and prayers. Their classic shape assist memorisation and act as the best instruction in a 'slow drip-feed' of holy scripture and in the Church's teachings. From Grade 4 (ages 9 and up), all students would be expected to attend them. Before then, they would be optional. You would be welcome to join your children for Mattins and Evensong, and for Holy Mass which would take place a little later in the day.

    From Pre-Primary to Year 3, the day would begin at 8:20am and finish at 3:40pm.

    From Year 4 and up, the day would begin earlier at 7:50am and finish at 4:40pm.
    In the high school years, we would intend to offer optional Saturday morning sports and activities. This would begin with Mattins, followed by activities, include Morning Tea, more activities and would conclude with Mass. Saturday morning school would allow for extra activities, sports and fellowship opportunities, particularly with the participation of parents. Would you see this as desirable for your children?
    The Catholic Church teaches that Parents are the primary educators of their children.
