Classroom Stages
Kindergarten
The early years is an exciting and important time. Your child begins their school educational journey, makes new friends, learns to be more independent, interacts within new boundaries and begins to establish a unique social identity in the classroom and playground.
At Buronga Public School we quite and develop students in their pursuits. We believe in teaching students how to think, rather than what to think.
This program includes explicit evidence-based teaching practices combined with inquiry-based learning opportunities
Years 1 & 2
Your child continues their learning in a familiar and supportive environment. Students will build on skills and knowledge developed in Kindergarten and begin to extend and advance not only their learning, but their social and emotional knowledge as they interact with the school community and their peers.
Years 3 & 4
Your child makes the significant step into stage two learning and begins to become more involved in leadership activities within the school and continues to build independence and resilience skills.
Learning begins to take a more self-directed approach here students are encouraged to take more responsibility for their learning and become highly engaged in the feedback and improvement process with their teachers. Student agency is promoted and enacted.
Years 5 & 6
Your child has progressed to the final stage of learning in primary school. They are recognised as leaders in the school and become involved in the decision-making process and the responsibilities of modelling and teaching our school values to others. Students work with staff to strive for ongoing continuous school improvement and their perspective is valued by the school community.
Learning begins to become increasingly formalised as we prepare students for secondary school. using visible learning pedagogy, students engage in developing strategies and direction for their success as a learner.
Our learning approach
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting learning goals with each student
- giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and school
- helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
