Our curriculum reflects the values of our school, our Catholic character and community. We know children learn best when they are engaged, supported and confident enough to take risks in their learning.

We provide broad and rich contexts for learning in the essential learning areas of English, Mathematics, the Arts, Social Sciences, Science, Technology, ICT, Health, Physical Education and Religious Education. Our curriculum is child centred and is planned to ensure natural connections are made across all curriculum dimensions, values, key competencies, learning areas and knowledge.

Emphasis is given to learning in English and Mathematics and the timetable reflects the priority of these foundation learning areas.  (School Number 3019)
