Primary Years
Introduction
The aim of the Primary Years at NBCS is to provide an extensive range of exciting learning experiences across all the Key Learning Areas. These differentiated learning experiences create brilliant opportunities for students to be thoroughly supported as their understanding and knowledge grows.
Learning incorporates:
- technology
- deliberate innovation
- thinking skills
- appropriate content as indicated by the NSW Board of Studies
- deeply embedded Christian Perspectives
Our programs are designed to provide each student with the opportunity to master foundational skills in all aspects of the curriculum with particular attention given to Literacy and Numeracy. We have three stages in the Primary Years and each has its own focus for development.
- Stage 1 focus is on the rudiments of reading, writing and mathematics.
- Stage 2 deals with strengthening and stretching these key skills.
- Stage 3 explores learning by allowing students to engage in a more independent educational environment.
These 3 Stages have been strategically planned to encourage a depth and breadth of engaged-learning.
Our classrooms have been custom built allowing for flexible learning spaces. Each room takes advantage of cross-flow ventilation and natural light, making the most of the beautiful bushland setting.
NBCS staff work collaboratively at ensuring each student is achieving at high standards, demonstrate positive attitudes, respectful language and pro-social behaviours. Students are always provided with a safe and secure playground and we take care that our students are taught strategies to resolve conflicts and develop strong friendships which means play times are a first-class experience for all.
