We have a 7 period day that involves the core subjects of mathematics, English, science, health and physical education (HPE), history, geography, languages and a choice of several high interest enrichment courses such as business computers, business studies, home economics, wood technology, metal technology, graphics, media studies, drama and visual arts. The junior secondary and senior students provide to the primary students, many learning opportunities through peer mentoring programs.
The primary students engage in weekly specialist lessons for HPE, music, drama, languages and art. Upper primary classes engage in home economics and wood technology classes in the junior secondary area of the school. Being a p-10 school offers a direct pathway for our upper primary students to move seamlessly into junior secondary.
Our school's Kindergarten program is based on the Queensland kindergarten learning guideline which provides advice for planning, interacting with children, monitoring and assessing learning as teachers engage children in active, language rich learning through play, real-life engagements, routines and transitions. Foundations for Success is a resource which acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples ways of knowing and being, and supports the embedding of personal and cultural identities and connections with families and communities in the learning program. The kindergarten program further develops children's thinking and problem-solving skills as well as their language, social and creative capabilities. These skills form the foundations for engaging in the content of the Foundation – Year 2 requirements of the Australian Curriculum, supporting continuity of learning for children across kindergarten to Year 2 and a successful transition to Prep.
