Facilities and Resources

The learning spaces at St John Vianney's are designed to enhance the learning opportunities of our students.

In our contemporary education spaces, students learn how to work both independently and as part of a small or large group depending on the task at hand.

Learning Spaces

We believe teaching is not confined to four walls, which is why we use a range of different spaces to engage students in their learning.

Our students are welcomed with bright, visually stimulating learning spaces equipped with the technology and other resources they need for engaging, hands-on learning.

Our learning spaces focus on developing the foundations of lifelong learning. Students learn to work together and independently, utilising equipment and technology that matches the task, fostering their creativity, critical thinking and problem solving.
