Curriculum

The Kindergarten to Year 10 curriculum is divided into Key Learning Areas (KLAs) and meets the guidelines within the NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum. Teachers meet weekly to identify essential learning in Key Learning Areas and use regular assessments to gather data on individual student learning needs.
