Our Learning

There are a number of approaches through which we uphold our values and achieve our mission and vision. The approaches listed below are of particular importance to the school and school community. Some approaches, such as teaching safety and finding one’s way in the city, utilising learning opportunities in the city, drafting the annual school agreement, having a strong appreciation for the arts, holding clear aspirations for Year 8 students and teaching Spanish, make CTMS unique. The approaches appear in categories based on the CTMS vision, though some approaches could easily be placed in more than one category.
