Curriculum
Teaching and Learning
At Our Lady Star of the Sea we teach children, not grades.
Our school aims to:
- help children grow in awareness of self, others, environment and faith community
- assist children in the forming of Christian attitudes in the context of the traditions and doctrines of the Catholic Church
- help children acquire skills and become information literate
- foster an enthusiasm for learning, leading to the development of life-long, independent and reflective learners
- provide a firm foundation in Religious Education, English, Mathematics, communication and thinking skills
- focus on environmental sustainability
At Our Lady Star of the Sea, the curriculum content encompasses the Victorian Curriculum and the resources provided through the Catholic Archdiocese of Sale’s publication; To Know, Worship & Love. - The Victorian Curriculum commences at the Foundation level and continues through all levels in Primary Schools
- Knowledge, skills and behaviours are developed across all levels to meet the needs of all students
