Program
provision for students
Our Curriculum is based on the National Guidelines. It
has been developed locally and it is reviewed regularly to ensure
it remains effective and is based on best practice.
We
have a Curriculum Officer who leads the ongoing review and development
of the Curriculum.
We
have a comprehensive Assessment and Reporting regime.
Reports are issued twice a year and formal parent/teacher interviews
are scheduled during the year.
A
Portfolio of
each child's work is presented at the end of the year. This contains
a variety of work samples and assessment tasks. It is
formally presented at the end of each year.
We
run specialist support programmes for children who are identified
to be in need of such assistance.
We
employ specialist teachers in the area
Music.
Activities
Our
students are actively involved in the community.
A
large squad participates in the annual Anzac Day Parade and
Ceremony and a smaller representation is involved in the Remembrance
Day Celebrations.
We
participate in the Deloraine Youth Drama Festival, Deloraine
Craft Fair, as well as local Eisteddfods.
We
prepare groups for scheduled visits to Kanangra, our neighbouring
Nursing Home.
We
participate in inter-school sports as part of the Northern Midlands
Sporting Association.
Mindful
of our relative isolation, we have an exciting leadership and
camping programme that has a focus on values and takes place
in an environmental setting.
Through
a Catholic Education Office Support Service, the school has
access to speech and language pathologists, guidance officers,
occupational therapists and special education consultants.
