Curriculum
The Board of Studies issues syllabuses and support documents, which each school translates into programs, appropriate to its own needs.
Subjects in Primary Schools are organised as six Key Learning Areas (KLAs):
English - reading, writing, talking and listening
Mathematics - number, measurement space
Science and Technology - science, computers
Human Society and its Environment (HSIE) - social studies
Creative and Practical Arts - music, visual arts, craft and drama
Personal Development, Health & Physical Education (PDHPE)
Religious Education is offered each Wednesday, by representatives of local churches and religious groups.
The school also includes a number of perspectives to its curriculum, e.g. media studies, talented students, multicultural, Australian and Aboriginal studies, the environment, student welfare, computer technology and child protection.
The primary source of learning materials and expected outcomes is the curriculum itself, copies of which can be perused in the school library. Some textbooks may be used to supplement work in some grades.
The Physical Education program entails sport for Years 1 to 6 and gross motor for Kindergarten. Sport and gross motor are conducted on a weekly basis. The school sports uniform is required to be worn for both sport and gross motor (refer to the uniform shop for guidance).
Some children in Years 3 to 6 are selected to represent their school in various summer/winter sports and compete against other schools in the Primary Schools Sports Association (PSSA). These children generally leave the School by bus (accompanied by teaching staff) to the venue and are returned to the school grounds by the completion of the school day. Children not involved in PSSA sport will undertake a sport or physical education program at the school, Eastwood oval or other nearby venues under teacher supervision.
