Curriculum Opportunities
We pride ourselves on a wide range of curriculum opportunites for our students
It’s not the curriculum that we offer that sets us apart, it’s the manner in which it’s delivered
Any school can teach a curriculum. Amazing schools like ours is full of teachers actively and passionately exploring the possibilities of making their teaching practice more innovative, engaging and fun at every turn. This is the single ingredient that drives the most growth in our students.
The success we attain is not only evidenced by the assessment data – but it’s seen through the smiles and joy we see on our students’ faces as a concept is grasped, practised and extended/applied, This is the indefinable element that drives us as teachers to produce and grow our own teaching skills year in, year out.
Student Wellbeing
At St Michael's we aim to provide a warm, welcoming community that is inclusive, respectful and works for the common good.
Literacy
At St Michael’s we implement the Victorian Curriculum. English is organised into three interrelated strands – Language, Literature and Literacy, which together focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in Speaking and Listening, Reading and Writing.
Religious Education
At St Michael's, Religious Education is at the centre of both the formal and informal school curriculum. We invite and support all our students to live their faith through developing a deepened relationship with God and to form loving relationships with others.
Physical Education
Our students participate in weekly PE and sport lessons, which activities aim to enhance the students’ physical fitness and equip them with knowledge, skills and practice of different individual and team sports.
In addition to the usual sports program run by our PE teacher, we aim to provide our students with an opportunity to learn and participate in a specialist sport/activity each year, such as gymnastics, dancing and circus skills!
Visual Arts
St Michael's utilises the arts, challenging the children to think creatively and solve problems, whilst developing skills of observation, spatial perception and fine motor skills, using a variety of mediums.
Performing Arts
The St Michael's School Community comes together annually to celebrate the Arts Curriculum.
We look forward to our Bi Annual Performance.
