The implementation of the Northern Territory Curriculum Framework through the school’s multilevel approach to teaching and learning encourages and develops:

• Competence in reading, writing, listening and speaking
• Understanding and the ability to use mathematics in solving problems
• Appreciation of skills and enjoyment in music, drama, art and craft through our specialist music/drama program
• Awareness, understanding and skills in current technology - in particular competency with Information Technology and supporting materials
• Skills in research, thinking and discussion
• An awareness of other languages and cultures
• Opportunities to use skills without fear or ridicule
• Curiosity and motivation to learn and display talent
• Physical skills, an awareness of a healthy lifestyle and a positive attitude to recreation which will lead to an appreciation of a healthy mind and body
• A willingness to excel
• Individual differences through programs to suit varying needs
• A caring, considerate and respectful attitude towards themselves and others
• Links with the child’s home to ensure the school community cooperates in educating the children
• Cooperative human relationships
• Conservation and protection of our natural heritage and an awareness of environmental issues
• Parental involvement in the school and their understanding of the educational process.

It is the School’s responsibility to translate the Northern Territory Curriculum Framework into School Programs appropriate for the needs of their particular students and to make decisions about policy matters in relation to the curriculum.

Thus whilst there may be some variation with teaching styles and resources used, the aim is to work towards common and defined goals at a Territory level which lead through compulsory primary and secondary schooling.
