The Primary School embraces the IB PYP (Primary Years Program) Curriculum Framework. The PYP encourages and challenges students to excel in their studies and in their personal development. The PYP also prepares our students to become active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and others and have the capacity to participate in the world around them. It focuses on the development of the whole child. Our Curriculum is also aligned with the Australian Curriculum Standards to ensure that explicit outcomes are achieved in all Learning Areas.
