Curriculum

Labertouche Primary School is committed to to empowering students to become independent learners who value knowledge and practice our core values of kindess, safety and curiosity. We do this by looking for connections everywhere!

Our innovative curriculum and culture of excellence creates a stimulating learning environment that engages and challenges students to achieve personal success and make positive contributions to society. Our school encourages students to strive for excellence in all of their endeavours. Our broad curriculum is planned and taught sequentially and allows students to have some ownership in all aspects of their learning. It is designed to develop thinking and social skills, foster engagement with the wider community and include use of a wide variety of technology to assist in student learning. To support the delivery of the curriculum at Labertouche Primary School we access and select a wide range of suitable educational resources, set homework that enhances classroom learning and undertake a range of student assessment and reporting activities.

Labertouche Primary School draws from the Victorian Curriculum, to develop and provide education programs that are meaningful for students. Curriculum covers all the arrangements the school makes for students’ development and learning.  It includes the course content, student activities, teaching approaches, the way in which teachers and classes are organised and decisions on the need for and the use of facilities and resources.

The Curriculum will allow every Labertouche Primary School student the opportunity to develop:

• A solid foundation in knowledge, understanding, skills and values on which further learning and adult life can be built
  Deep knowledge, understanding, skills and values that will enable advanced learning and an ability to create new ideas and translate them into practical applications
• General capabilities that underpin flexible and analytical thinking, a capacity to work with others and an ability to move across subject disciplines to develop new expertise.
