Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Why choose us for your child’s learning?
Strong foundations
We focus on the skills your child needs to succeed in school and beyond. This helps them feel confident and prepared for the future.
High-quality education
We offer a range of subjects to match what students enjoy and want to learn about. Our skilled teachers support every student to find what they love, do their best and succeed.
Inclusive and personalised learning
Our teachers adjust how they teach to suit your child’s needs, interests and learning pace. We make sure every student feels confident and supported.
Extension opportunities
Some students are ready for more challenges. We offer open-ended tasks, enrichment programs and support. We help all students to reach their full potential.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
Write to the school if you wish your child to participate in special religious education, sometimes known as scripture. For more information, visit Religion and ethics.
A special religious education program is available and is run by a combined group of churches in the local area. These include the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst, the Baptist Union of NSW, the Churches of Christ in NSW and ACT, the Lutheran Church of Australia, the Presbyterian Church of Australia (NSW), the Uniting Church in Australia, the Australian Christian Churches, the Catholic Diocese of Bathurst, The Salvation Army, and the Christian Outreach Centre. All of these organisations are on the Department of Education's list of approved providers.
All Christian SRE teachers are authorised and trained by an approved provider.
Additional details of the program, GodSpace, which is authorised by the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst, is available here, with the scope and sequence for this curriculum.
SRE Preferences can also be made via the Online Enrolment System
On enrolment, parents/caregivers are given the SRE participation letter to complete and return. Students continue in the same arrangement each year, unless a parent or caregiver has requested a change in writing. At any time, parents and caregivers have the right to change their child's participation status in the SRE program. A note to the Principal will affect this change.
At our school, we give the right support to help gifted learners to grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.

Our learning approach
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting learning goals with each student
- giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and school
- helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
