Kindergarten

The curriculum for Kindergarten is based on the principles described in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and has a strong emphasis on play-based learning.

Prep - Year 6

The curriculum for Prep to Year 6 covers:

  • English

  • Mathematics

  • Science

  • Geography & History (HASS)

  • The Arts

  • Languages

  • Health and Physical Education

  • Biblical Studies

The curriculum for Prep to Year 6 is based on the National Australian Curriculum. Teachers plan learning experiences and units of work within the curriculum which strongly reflect, and are underpinned by, the Biblical worldview of our Christian School.

STEM Integration

Science Technology Engineering and Maths (STEM) is integrated across our curriculum. The school has recently reviewed our curriculum content to reflect a focus on this vitally important area in your child’s learning. 

Extra-Curricular

Soccer & Netball - mixed teams for Prep to Year 6. Our teams are coached after school by our enthusiastic parents.

Camps – For Years 3 - 6 are a great opportunity to build relationships between teachers, parents and students. Bonds are built through shared experiences, laughter and making memories. Our bi annual Canberra trip is a highlight for our Year 5/6 students.

Other Activities

At Channel your child’s learning will also happen outside the formal classroom setting in the exciting and interesting activities that we offer throughout the year. Programs that extend classroom learning we call ‘co-curricular’. Programs that engage and entertain the students but do not relate to specific educational goals we call ‘extra-curricular’.

  • Visiting performances
