Curriculum

PE

Physical Education involves students in a wide range of physical activities, with the aim of fostering a positive attitude towards exercise and movement. Younger students develop fundamental movement skills through games, while upper primary students continue to expand on their sporting abilities, teamwork and sportsmanship through organised sports and competitive games. 

Health

Health lessons equip students with an understanding of how their bodies function and how they can keep themselves fit, healthy and safe. This includes topics such as personal safety, emotions, hygiene, nutrition and the benefits of exercise. In upper primary, students start to consider health outcomes in the wider Australian community.

Japanese

Japanese lessons focus on language skills, including reading and writing in Japanese characters. Students learn through a range of activities such as songs, games, flashcards, translating, roleplays, speaking and listening tasks. Classes also learn about aspects of Japanese culture, with a focus on differences and similarities to Australian cultural practices.

Art

Art lessons are designed to develop students’ fundamental skills in a range of art mediums, such as pencil, collage, pastels and ceramics. Students learn to draft artworks, considering the strengths and limitations of their medium. As their skills develop, students plan art projects with greater independence, making their own choices regarding the design and execution of their work.
