Learning

At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.

What students learn

Our learning approach

At Budgewoi Public School, we are deeply committed to achieving educational excellence in a supportive environment with high expectations.

Our vision is to nurture confident, capable, and motivated learners who are ready to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Explicit teaching consists of a set of principles that inform a range of dynamic and responsive teaching strategies. It involves teachers clearly explaining, demonstrating and modelling to students:

• what they are learning and how to be successful
• why they are learning something
• how it connects to what they already know
• what they are expected to do
• how to do it
• what it looks like when they have succeeded.

Student being given opportunities and time to:

• show their understanding of what has been taught
• ask questions to clarify and build understanding
• practise using skills and knowledge they have learnt
• receive clear, timely, effective feedback.

When implemented effectively, explicit teaching works for all students across all year groups and ability levels. It is the best way to teach students new or complex concepts and skills and provides the necessary building blocks for guided and independent practice. Teachers at Budgewoi Public School regularly engage in professional development to implement a range of evidence-based teaching practices. This ensures that Budgewoi students benefit from high quality teaching that ensures every child receives the guidance and support they need to succeed and reach their full potential.

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 or extension in small groups
• making wellbeing part of everyday learning
• helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
