Curriculum is defined as all the experiences a child is engaged in at school. This includes the formal curriculum and the hidden curriculum. Chevallum School community understands that our learning outcomes are dependent upon the successful integration of our values and beliefs with best practice. Our approach has lead to the implementation of a curriculum with improved intellectual engagement and development of deeper understandings.
Our emphasis on catering for individual learning needs means that children are offered individual and developmentally appropriate programs in Literacy and Numeracy.
All learning and teaching occurs within a multi-age context with the focus being on developing thinking, cooperative learning and recognition of multiple intelligences and learning styles.
Our values and beliefs are an integral driver of our inclusive school curriculum planning.
