Teaching and Learning

---

Our Curriculum

Reading, Writing and Mathematics and Statistics are taught as core learning areas and are embedded in all of our programmes.

Our learners experience

Science, Social Sciences, Technology, Health and Physical Education (P.E.) and The Arts (Visual, Music, Dance, Drama) through our Learner Driven Project inquiry inspired integrated topics.

Learner Driven Curriculum

With an inquiry approach to teaching, our children’s projects begin with provocations (a topic or object or theme to start discussions) and from there all learning areas merge together to stimulate children’s inquisitiveness and open their minds to the world around them. After listening to the children’s ideas, teachers then support them through their explorations and question them to think deeply about the topic chosen.

Digital Technology

We are connected to N4L (Network for Learning), a government funded managed network of safe, predictable, ultra-fast internet connectivity with uncapped data. This has enabled all classroom digital devices to connect through wireless. Our Year 5 to 8 children have access to 1:1 Chromebooks and use google classrooms as one of their learning forums. By using digital technologies, children have access to a wider range of quality teaching and learning resources that enhance their learning and engagement. We encourage our children to use these tools to explore and research and develop their learning skills in many different ways.
