Curriculum Overview

We are committed to providing our students with an enriching educational experience that equips them with the skills they need for their future.

Our curriculum is underpinned by the following pillars:
Reading mastery:

We believe in the transformative power of reading. By placing reading at the core of our curriculum, we ignite a love for literature, develop language skills, and promote a lifelong passion for learning.

Growth mindset:

We foster a growth mindset in our students, nurturing their belief in their ability to grow and develop through effort and perseverance. This mindset empowers them to embrace challenges, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a love of learning.

Global awareness:

In an interconnected world, it is essential for our students to understand different cultures, perspectives, and global challenges. Our curriculum promotes global awareness, nurturing empathy, cultural understanding, and a sense of responsibility as global citizens.

Critical thinking:

We believe that critical thinking is essential for success in the 21st century. By building a secure knowledge base, our curriculum provides the foundation for students to analyse information, evaluate evidence, solve problems, and think critically in various contexts.

Cultural capital:

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum enriched by experiences that broaden our students' cultural capital. Through activities such as visiting the theatre, exploring our capital city, and participating in sporting events, we expose our students to diverse experiences that enhance their understanding of the world and develop their personal and social growth.

 

Our knowledge base curriculum focuses on embedding knowledge from a wide range of subjects into our students’ long-term memory, fostering deep understanding and application of concepts. Through deliberate and meaningful links across the curriculum, we provide a cohesive and progressive learning journey that inspires ambition and personal growth.

A key aspect of our curriculum is the use of high-quality texts that engage and challenge our students. These texts often link to our geography and history curriculum, allowing students to explore diverse cultures, historical events, and global issues. By immersing students in rich literary experiences, we develop their reading comprehension, analytical thinking, and communication skills.

Our curriculum nurtures the development of our students in multiple dimensions – academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and personally. We strive to provide a broad and balanced education that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and experiences necessary for their holistic development and future success.

We value the partnership with parents and carers and are committed to working together to support your child's educational journey. If you have any further questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
