Literacy

We use an evidence-based approach to literacy to help every child become a confident reader, writer, speaker, and listener. In the early years, students receive explicit instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, handwriting, and Systematic Synthetic Phonics using programs such as LLLL and UFLI Foundations. From Years Two to Six, explicit teaching of spelling, morphology, and literature continues to strengthen language and literacy skills.

A daily, structured literacy block ensures all learners are supported and challenged.

Mathematics

Mathematics is a daily priority, with learning aligned to the Victorian Curriculum across Number & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry, and Statistics & Probability. Through explicit whole-class instruction, targeted teaching, and purposeful lesson closures, students build strong mathematical vocabulary and problem-solving skills. Daily review and retrieval practices strengthen understanding and retention, supporting students to become confident and creative mathematical thinkers.

Religious Education

Religious Education is at the heart of our school, guided by the Gospel values of Jesus and the traditions of the Catholic Church. We partner with families as the primary educators of faith and honour the diverse spiritual experiences of our students. Prayer and liturgy are central to school life, with regular class, school, and parish celebrations. Our Sacramental program is a strong partnership between families, school, and parish.

Inquiry

Our Inquiry Learning Program fosters curiosity, engagement, and active learning as students explore big ideas across areas such as Science, History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship, and Design & Technologies. Each term, learning is guided by a central concept aligned with the Victorian Curriculum and enriched through real-world connections, student voice, and hands-on experiences. Students develop strong inquiry skills, becoming confident, independent learners with a love of learning.

LOTE- Italian

Italian (LOTE) is offered to all students from Prep to Year 6 through weekly 40-minute lessons. Students develop foundational language skills while exploring Italian culture and history. In the early years, our program is enriched through the Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) initiative, using a play-based, digital approach to build language, cognitive, and social skills while celebrating culture and diversity.

Physical Education

Physical Education is offered from Prep to Year 6 through specialist and classroom teachers, building motor skills, movement competence, fitness, and teamwork through games, sport, and outdoor learning. Students participate in swimming programs in Years 1–4 and a camp in Years 5–6. From Year 3, students have opportunities to represent the school in inter-school sports, including cross country, athletics, and team competitions.
