Our curriculum is guided by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA). This is an independent statutory authority with a vision to inspire improvement in the learning of all young Australians through world-class curriculum, assessment and reporting.
ACARA provides a framework for our teaching and learning, and outlines the key elements of what children should learn as they progress through their primary schooling and into high school. This forms the foundation of students' learning, growth and active participation as productive members of society.

Living Learning Leading Framework
The Living Learning Leading Framework gives us a foundation for understanding what we do – who we are, what we value and how we partner with our families to ensure our students thrive.
At the heart of our framework is our commitment to our students and our understanding of all people – we see them as ‘thriving people, capable learners, leaders for the world God desires.’
