TEACHING & LEARNING

What do we teach?

The curriculum program is underpinned by the Victorian Curriculum from Prep to Year 6. This provides a single, coherent and comprehensive set of prescribed content and common achievement standards which are used to plan student learning programs, assess student progress and report to parents. The unit planning addresses the learning areas of English, Maths, Humanities (History, Economics, Geography, Civics & Citizenship), Science, Health and Physical Education, Languages (Auslan) Design and Digital Technology, The Arts (Music, Dance, Drama, Media, Visual Arts, Visual Communication) and Personal and Social Capabilities (SEL and Respectful Relationships.) As a school, we are committed to integrating curriculum domains to allow for an Inquiry approach towards effective and engaging teaching and learning. The Inquiry process allows many curricular areas and general capabilities to be immersed into the teaching and learning program. The Teaching and Learning Framework and the Pedagogical Model underpin the framework of what we teach and how we address teaching and learning within our learning spaces and year level cohorts. Our school values of Respect, Teamwork, Leadership and Learning are embedded into our school culture and are the foundation for our teaching practice. The knowledge, skills and conceptual understandings that underpin the learning outcomes are carefully scaffolded by genuine and trusting relationships harnessed through a range of personal and social development programs and a deeper understanding in restorative practices which value diversity and individuality.
