The Curriculum and School Structure 1 - 6

At St. Maria Goretti Primary School we believe every educational context is unique. Our curriculum is organized around the Key Learning Areas nominated by the National Curriculum. It is enhanced by other programs to make the learning experience meaningful, stimulating and linked to other knowledge, attitudes and skills.
Key Learning Areas include:

Catering for individual needs
The school seeks to cater for the academic needs of students within the resource levels that are available.
When teachers plan, they recognize the variety of learning styles and academic abilities within their classes. As a result, they look for ways in which they might be able to tailor programs that best suit the children in their care.
We have allocated resources (both human and material) to support those students who may be experiencing difficulties in the short or longer term. Learning Support hours are built into the overall timetable so that those students who need it can be given individualized attention. Toowoomba Catholic Education Office also provides the services of Advisory Personnel who visit the school on a reasonably regular basis.
