The curriculum overview emphasises key teaching methodologies such as Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI), Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) approach, and Systematic Synthetic Phonics (SSP).
Faith and spirituality play a central role in the school's educational philosophy. Regular Masses and religious celebrations are held, and students are encouraged to participate in faith-in-action initiatives, fostering a sense of community and social responsibility.
The school offers a range of specialist learning areas and extra-curricular activities to provide a full and diverse education. This includes sports programs, Italian language classes and specialised music lessons, which aims to inspire a love of learning beyond the classroom.
We also place emphasis on integrating learning technologies into the curriculum, preparing students for an increasingly digital world. The school recognises and supports diverse learning needs, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
To enrich the educational experience, we arrange various camps, excursions, incursions, and clubs. These activities complement classroom learning by providing hands-on experiences and opportunities for personal growth and social development.
Overall, the Learning at Saint David's Parish School reflects a holistic approach to education, balancing academic rigor with spiritual growth, extracurricular engagement, and inclusive learning practices, to inspire our students to achieve their full potential.
