This is an overview of our curriculum plan. There will be various interpretations of it within individual classrooms, which is encouraged, since it has been designed to give teachers the confidence and flexibility to recognise their students’ abilities, interests and needs and enhance rich learning experiences in unique and special ways.

Our curriculum plan is deliberately uncomplicated and based on 'big ideas’ about things that are important to us, our students and our community.  Our focus has shifted towards a curriculum that is driven by strengthening and developing key competencies. This means we are increasingly interested in what our pupils can do, as well as what they know. We believe our teaching has been successful when new knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes are accommodated by our pupils with success, permanence, independence and with meaningful results.

We believe that 'curriculum' means more than those things which are articulated here. Our curriculum is defined by the learning that our students actually experience. (and not what is printed in our school documents!) We believe, therefore, in evidence in ‘practice’ and not evidence on ‘paper’ alone. The best way to learn about our curriculum is to pay us a visit and see it in action!
