The curriculum emphasises the development of competency in literacy and numeracy. We use Sound Waves to help develop literacy skills in students through the use of flash cards, charts, Music, DVD and teacher instruction. Our Learning Enrichment staff provides extra learning support according to the individual needs of students.
The curriculum and enrichment activities, both inside and outside the classroom, provide our students with opportunities to develop their Godgiven gifts and abilities. The Upper Primary School has specialist teachers in Music, Library, Art, Drama, Media and Physical Education. Year 5 and 6 students participate in District Inter School Sport and our 9 to 12 year old athletes have the opportunity to compete in both the District and Christian Schools Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country carnivals.
