Curriculum Opportunities

SEPCIALISED TEACHING

We pride ourselves on a wide range of curriculum opportunities for our students

It’s not only the curriculum 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 students’ 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.

Visual Arts

The Visual Art program is developed according to requirements outlined in the Victorian Curriculum.Arts learning explores the two main areas of Creating & Making and Exploring & Responding to art.

Creating and Making focuses on students exploring a variety of art elements, skills, techniques, processes, media, materials, equipment and technologies in a range of art forms including: drawing, ceramics, sculpture, painting, construction, printmaking, textiles and collage.

Exploring & Responding to Art requires students to look at and discuss traditional and contemporary art works from a range of times, places and cultures. This becomes inspiration and starting points for practical activities.

Children develop an arts language to describe their own and others work. Each year our Year 6 students are involved in a ‘Leave your mark’ project where they create a piece of art with their names that remains in the school grounds.

Languages (Indonesian)

Sacred Heart Primary School offers Indonesian language from Foundation through to Level 6 and has a strong commitment to promoting a love for language learning. Studying another language enhances not only the students’ intercultural competence, but it also boosts their cognitive development in a wide range of areas, like literacy, numeracy and overall problem-solving. The Indonesian language was selected in line with our commitment to Asian Perspectives in the Victorian Curriculum, the close association with Asian countries and many of our feeder Secondary Schools also offer Indonesian.With an emphasis on communicative, game-oriented exercises and songs the students become increasingly familiar with the sound and use of the language. Authentic resources, creative tasks and a variety of different media including interactive whiteboard activities enable the students to extend their conversational and written language competences.
