Learning Introduction

Our curriculum focuses on meeting the individual needs of every student. This is achieved through regular and rigorous assessment, with explicit teaching which builds upon what the students know and then takes them the ‘next step on their learning journey’.

We provide age appropriate learning in Religious Education, Maths, English, Science, Health, History, Personal Development and Interpersonal Development, in our regular Prep, Year 5 and 6 classrooms as well as our composite settings for Year 1/2 and Year 3/4. Our Specialist classes at St Paul’s consist of Italian, Health & Physical Education, Art, Music and eLearning (for a semester).  

We provide Discovery Learning in our Prep-Year 2 levels and SII (Student Initiated Inquiry) in the Year 3-6 levels.  The students are given many opportunities to be artists, explorers, engineers, scientists, mathematicians, authors, illustrators and problem solvers.  The students can also explore the dispositions of being persistent, inquisitive, flexible, self-regulated, courageous and collaborative during this learning time. 

A Conceptual Framework for the Integrated Curriculum 

The concepts of Community, Story, Wellbeing, Exploration, Innovation and Environment are delivered over a two-year cycle. We design programs using the local community, global events and drawing on the students interests and capabilities. 

St Paul’s Primary School places a great emphasis on digital technologies, including laptops, Google Chromebooks and flat panel screens. We are mindful of the positive effect these technologies have on our students, as well as the need to ensure access to them in a safe and secure cyber environment.
