Grades 3 to 6 Curriculum

At St Albans East Primary School, students in Years 3 to 6 continue to build upon the strong foundations established in the early years through the Victorian Curriculum. Our teaching and learning programs are designed to challenge, engage, and support students as they develop the academic, social, and personal skills needed for future success.

A strong focus is placed on explicit teaching and the development of essential skills in:

• Reading and Comprehension
• Writing and Oral Language
• Numeracy and Mathematical Reasoning
• Critical and Creative Thinking

Students are encouraged to become independent learners who can collaborate, problem-solve, reflect on their learning, and take increasing responsibility for their personal growth and achievement.

Alongside core learning areas, students participate in a wide range of specialist and curriculum programs including:

• AUSLAN
• Physical Education and Sport
• Visual Arts
• STEM and Digital Technologies
• Inquiry Learning and Student Voice opportunities

Teachers use ongoing assessment and student data to monitor progress and ensure learning is targeted to individual student needs. Support, intervention, and extension opportunities are provided to maximise growth for all learners and ensure every student is challenged at their point of need.

Student wellbeing, inclusion, and engagement remain central to all learning experiences at St Albans East Primary School. We work in partnership with families to support students in developing confidence, resilience, leadership skills, and positive relationships as they prepare for the transition to secondary school.

At St Albans East Primary School, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where all students are empowered to achieve their personal best and experience success in learning and life.
