Every child is different and so is their learning journey
Our approach to learning puts the growth of each individual child at the heart of schooling. Schools in the Diocese of Parramatta are places of wonder, exploration and endless possibilities. Delany College welcomes and truly values each student in our diverse and multicultural learning community.
Each child’s unique strengths and needs guide the design of the learning opportunities we provide to our students.
After all, learning how to learn is equally important as what we learn!
Inspired learning starts with highly motivated and professional teachers
Like you, we know that great teachers make a real difference in a child’s life. Our teachers are lifelong learners too and regularly undertake professional development to keep up to date with current best practice in education. Our expert teachers will tailor teaching to meet your child at their point of need, track how they are progressing, and respond with extra support when needed.
Our pathways for success
Delany College is leading the way when it comes to 21st Century learning, with targeted teaching and a carefully designed learning framework that has students at the centre.
The Delany difference is that we use our students’ interests and passions to drive their learning, ensuring students are more motivated and engaged. Student ideas are valued and help form the basis of learning and teaching.
Every decision we make about learning is calculated, considered and with the students’ outcomes at heart.
We are educating for future success by making sure that critical learning happens TODAY. We are driven by our vision of what a Delany graduate should be:
- a capable, confident and compassionate person of faith
- an independent lifelong learner who demonstrates a growth mindset
- someone who forms positive relationships with others.
