Primary Curriculum
Our broad-based curriculum includes English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Technology, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Health, Physical Education, and LOTE (Indonesian).
We seek to employ well-researched and effective teaching and learning programs and tools and give our students access to a wide variety of learning activities. At Laverton P-12 College, we seek to integrate the use of technology naturally and excitingly for our students. Students use a range of technologies such as laptop computers, iPads, and Interactive Whiteboards as part of their learning and our staff are constantly training in the latest teaching methods and techniques.
In addition to the core subjects, we also prioritize teaching and learning in the four capabilities:
- Critical and creative thinking
- Ethical understanding
- Intercultural understanding
- Personal and Social Capability
Literacy Intervention
At Laverton P-12 College Literacy Intervention is used to support students who have been identified as needing additional assistance in their literacy learning. Teachers work one on one or in small group situations to deliver an explicit teaching and learning program at the point of need of the student. A range of hands-on and interactive resources are used to address individual student needs and interests.
At Laverton P-12 College we aim to create a learning environment that:
- Build and reinforce students' sense of identity and cultural awareness
- Foster students' recognition and development of universal human values
- Stimulate curiosity, ingenuity, and inquiry to foster a spirit of discovery and enjoyment of learning
- Equip students with the basic skills to learn and acquire knowledge, individually or collaboratively, and to apply these skills and knowledge accordingly across a broad range of areas
- Ensure flexibility and responsiveness of teaching and learning approaches to the different needs of our diverse student population
- Assist learners to develop the autonomy needed for full and efficient participation in their learning
- Provide appropriate forms of assessment to facilitate effective learning and to ensure that learners work to their potential and achieve their personal best.
