Curriculum
At St Brendan’s, the students learn across seven key learning areas. The Religious Education Program is based on the Syllabus ‘Sharing Our Story’, which was written and developed by the Parramatta Diocese and adopted by the Diocese of Wagga Wagga.
Students at St. Brendan’s Primary School study the Primary School Curriculum devised by the NSW Board of Studies.
The six mandatory key learning areas are:
– English
– Mathematics
– Science and Technology
– Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE)
– Creative and Practical Arts
– Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE).
The four stages of primary education are:
– Early Stage 1: Kindergarten
– Stage 1: Years 1 and 2
– Stage 2: Years 3 and 4
– Stage 3: Years 5 and 6.
