Curriculum - The Basics

English

The English curriculum consists of the three dimensions of Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.  Our aim is to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to achieve high standards of literacy.  Students are taught via a developmental program that caters for their individual needs and keeps track of progress through their stages of learning.  A Reading Recovery program, additional assistance for individuals and small groups, and a targeted phonemic program, support classroom English programs.  Our school has successfully implemented the Early Years Literacy program for Victorian Schools in years Prep to 2.  These methods and approaches have been modified and incorporated in to the year 3 to 6 classes.  Our highly trained and skilled classroom teachers are committed to improving all students’ literacy skills.
