CURRICULUM
Quality Teaching = Quality Learning
Our teachers at St Anthony’s are committed to ongoing professional development and learning. Teachers and students work collaboratively to improve student learning outcomes. Technology plays a key role in being a tool for learning and we encourage this to support the learning. Our technology allows children to learn anywhere, anyhow, anyway, anytime.
All teaching and learning at St Anthony's is linked to the Australian curriculum. http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/ version 7.
Key Learning areas include: Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, The Arts, Health and Physical Education, Japanese and Music
Assessment for Learning
Our Assessment for learning is both formative and summative. Students are involved in the assessment process.
Learning Philosophy
Our Learning philosophy is built around making learning visible. In the very important areas of literacy and numeracy teachers make learning explicit so that students know exactly what it is that they need to learn.
Feedback/ Feedforward / Data Collection
Teachers give frequent feedback/ feedforward to help students work at higher levels of achievement. Data helps inform practice, set goals and support future learning. It is shared with students, staff and parents and used for intervention strategies if needed.
Learning
At St Anthony’s we dare the children to wonder, be curious, ask questions and become problem solvers. This is made visible by engaging in real life learning experiences.
What Technology do you have?
We have smart tv's in all rooms, laptops, and ipads. In Year's 4,5 & 6 we have implemented Bring Your Own Device ( BYOD). Our procedures and policies are located below:
All classrooms are fitted with sound field systems which help support all children but in particular those with auditory processing disorders.
