Curriculum Aims

Our ambitious curriculum aims to inform, empower, and enable our young people to thrive intellectually, emotionally, and physically.

​

Through a robust academic core, we seek to engage our students with the best of what has been thought and said, to secure in them a confident sense of self and place, and to engender a global perspective. We place high value on the creative and performing arts, sport and providing opportunities for students to pursue their own talents and interests; as well as on developing a sense of wonder, celebrating curiosity, and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

 

Our foundation curriculum builds on learning from primary school and provides the platform for students, regardless of starting points or background to flourish, addressing barriers to learning and ensuring no child is left behind.

 

Extra-Curricular and Preparing for Life Beyond School

An extensive extra-curricular offer ensures that all students are exposed to key experiences, places and events that will serve to contextualise their learning, allow them to test their ideas and further enhance their social and cultural capital.

​

We are committed to equipping our young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions, to be independent and critical thinkers with the character to consistently represent the best of themselves and make a positive contribution to our community and society.

 

Our curriculum vision reflects our belief in children and our community, the unique and immeasurable value of each individual, and that through hard work, discipline and doing the basics brilliantly we develop the courage and capacity to reimagine what is possible.
