The early stage one program covers 6 curriculum areas:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Creative Arts
  • Human Society and It's Environment
  • Personal Development, Health and Physical Education


English:
Our Literacy programs cover Talking and Listening, Reading and Writing. Children in Kindergarten have the opportunity to write every day. Our programs cover a range of different texts types and allow the children to explore many different features of writing.  In Kindergarten the children participate in reading groups. Each day for 45 minutes a team of teachers come into the classroom and teach a small group for reading.  This provides the children with an intensive reading program which is appropriate to each child's ability and learning style.
 

Mathematics:
Our mathematics programs cover number; including whole number, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division and fractions and decimals. It also covers 2D shapes, 3D shapes, position, measurement, patterns and algebra and data. These areas are covered by explicit programs as well as through spontaneous experiences and developmental play activities. Technology is also a large part of all our programs, particularly in mathematics.
