How we teach

Detailed Curriculum
Daily Schedule
Teachers will be using the Teaching For Effective Learning Framework as a guide to ensuring that we design learning opportunities that create safe conditions for rigorous learning, help develop expert learners and personalise and connect learning to students’ needs and abilities.

If you have any queries about the alignment of what and how we teach, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.

Literacy and numeracy assessments

Students are assessed each year using a variety of standardised tests in Literacy (Spelling and Reading) and Mathematics. Running Records are taken for children in Years R-2 and NAPLAN testing takes place for Years 3, 5 and 7 students. This facilitates ongoing monitoring of progress and intervention if required. Individual progress is reported and helps to ensure that every student is extended to their full potential.

Formal written reports are given to parents twice yearly.

School support services

A variety of specialist support personnel within the Department for Education and Child Development are available to assist students, parents and teachers. These include the School Dental Service, Psychologists, Special Education Teachers, Speech Pathologists and Behaviour Management personnel.

Should you feel that extra assistance is needed in any area or aspect of your child’s education, please contact the teacher or Principal so that the relevant service can be contacted. These specialist personnel assist the school in the planning and development of school programmes to meet the individual needs of our students.

Our school also employs support personnel to work on an individual basis within the classroom with students who are experiencing learning difficulties.

Music

The school offers private instrumental tuition for piano, drums, guitar and singing. Students are able to attend arranged lessons during school times. Details are on a separate sheet in the enrolment pack. There is also a choir that performs at assemblies and within the local community.
