Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
English
The English curriculum helps students build strong foundations in speaking, listening, reading and writing, while also developing a love of literature from the early years through to upper primary. Learning is carefully structured so skills grow and connect across key areas such as vocabulary, reading comprehension, spelling and writing, with teaching guided by each child’s needs. By making clear links between understanding texts and creating texts, students are supported to become confident communicators and thoughtful, capable learners.
Mathematics
The mathematics curriculum supports students to develop strong skills in number, measurement, space and data, while also learning how to think critically and solve real-world problems. Children are encouraged to explain their thinking, use a variety of strategies, and make connections between mathematical ideas as they grow in confidence and understanding. Learning is flexible and responsive to students’ needs, ensuring all learners are supported and challenged at their point of development.
Human Society and its Environment
The HSIE curriculum helps students understand people, places and the past through Geography and History, while developing skills to investigate, think critically and make sense of the world around them. Students learn through stories, sources, data and real-world connections, with a strong focus on respectful understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. Vocabulary and knowledge-building are woven across learning to help students explain their thinking, deepen understanding and confidently communicate their ideas.
Science and Technology
The Science and Technology curriculum encourages students to be curious, ask questions, explore how the world works and design creative solutions to real-life problems. Children learn through hands-on investigations, building knowledge about the natural and made world while developing skills in thinking, questioning, designing and using digital technologies. Strong links to writing and vocabulary help students explain their ideas clearly, deepen understanding and share their learning with confidence.
Creative Arts
The Creative Arts curriculum gives students rich opportunities to express ideas, feelings and stories through Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. Children learn by making, performing and appreciating creative works, building confidence, imagination and practical skills across a wide range of artistic experiences. By exploring different cultures, styles and forms of expression, students develop creativity, communication skills and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Personal Development, Health and Physical Education
The PDHPE curriculum supports students to build healthy, active and positive lives by developing movement skills, understanding wellbeing, forming respectful relationships and strengthening personal and social skills. Children learn how to care for their bodies, manage emotions, stay safe and work confidently with others through both practical physical activity and classroom learning. Schools tailor learning to meet the needs of their students, helping every child grow in confidence, resilience and wellbeing.
Excursion and Incursions
Curriculum-linked incursions and excursions extend classroom learning through real-world experiences. Students engage in a wide range of academic, creative and wellbeing-focused experiences that enrich learning, build understanding and support deeper connections to the curriculum.
Religion and Ethics
At our school, families may choose for their child to participate in Special Religious Education (SRE) or Special Education in Ethics (SEE) where these programs are available and delivered by approved providers. When enrolling, you can select from the approved options offered at our school, and students who do not attend SRE or SEE will take part in supervised, meaningful alternative learning activities. You may change your preference at any time by notifying the school in writing or using the online form where available.
