Students are encouraged to be critical thinkers and thoughtful communicators. We are committed to consistently evaluating our curriculum to ensure relevance to our context and provide fresh interest for students and staff alike.
There is a strong whole-school literacy strategy which aims to ensure that all students can gain the educational and personal benefits of reading.This was referenced in our recent inspection report which included the statement that “Reading is a priority for the school”.This includes reading in form time, Accelerated Reader and a variety of reading interventions for readers who are not yet proficient.
