Curriculum Opportunities

We pride ourselves on a wide range of curriculum opportunities 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 are 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 student’s faces as a concept is grasped. This is the indefinable element that drives us as teachers to produce and grow our own teaching skills year in, year out.

Student Wellbeing

Park Ridge Primary School has developed a range of strategies to promote engagement, positive behaviour and respectful relationships for all students in our school.

English

At Park Ridge Primary School we believe active and effective participation in society depends on the ability to speak, listen, read, view and write with confidence, purpose and enjoyment in a wide range of contexts.

Mathematics

At Park Ridge Primary School, students are provided with opportunities to experience success as mathematicians, through a variety of activities including skills development, solving real life problems, open ended questions, and participating in mathematics games.

Instructional Model

Our Pedagogical Model is designed to support the delivery of the Victorian Curriculum F-10 and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. It draws from the current evidence base, including the following frameworks and initiatives:
