Literacy
We believe all students can achieve high standards in Literacy. Our high expectations combined with focused teaching and engaging lessons have a great impact on student achievement. We assess our students to inform individual learning plans and provide point of need teaching. Students participate in a variety of lessons, incorporating ICT such as iPads and computers. Our structured daily Literacy lessons scaffolds students to reach their greatest potential in Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening. 
L.O.T.E. (Japanese)
Our students participate in an exciting Japanese program taught by an experienced Japanese teacher. Using our video conferencing unit, students enjoy working online to develop their language skills in Japanese and further expand their cultural awareness of Japan. They participate with their Japanese teacher each week, supplemented by an additional activity their classroom teacher runs. This gives our students a unique opportunity to participate in a first class L.O.T.E. program. 
P.E. and Fitness
Our Physical Education program is a positive experience for students to be active and aware of the importance of health and everyday activity. Students participate in weekly fitness activities focusing on speed, strength, endurance and maintaining a positive frame of mind to exceed personal goals. within these PE lessons, students also complete activities that are focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and specific skills. We offer a swimming program and compete in cluster school sports days, athletics days and cross country. |
Numeracy
During Numeracy, we model and teach concepts explicitly to students before providing them with the opportunity to consolidate their understanding in practical experiences. We encourage our students to think beyond the immediate mathematical concepts and into real life. Students have the opportunity to work with concrete materials, ICT and in real world situations to develop strong and long lasting understandings of numeracy. 
The Arts
The Mount Egerton Arts program consists of instruction in the areas of visual arts and performing arts. Music lessons can also be organised within school hours with an outside instructor at an additional cost to parents who would like their child to take part. Our comprehensive visual arts program has produced many of the decorations around the school from mosaics to outdoor portraits to woodwork pieces. Students explore the use of different mediums through their art lessons. 
Science, Environment and Cooking
We are fortunate enough to be adjacent to a bush reserve. This forms the foundation for our environmental studies program. Staff and students are able to complete learning activities in our bush classroom throughout the year. We also run a weekly Science program for all students. As we have a large teaching kitchen, complete with its own interactive whiteboard, we run cooking classes. This is a fantastic way for students to gain greater understanding of mathematical and scientific concepts they have learned. |

Respectful Relationships
Since the start of 2020 we are a partner school to Bungaree Primary in Respectful Relationships. Respectful relationships is a whole school approach to help create a culture of respect by building students’ personal resilience and supporting gender equality, which will go beyond the walls of the school. |
Additional student activities
Our school promotes a strong focus on student leadership. Students are able to develop their leadership skills through running for School Captain, Sports Captain or Junior School Council. All students in Grade 1-6 are encouraged to apply for a position that interests them. Throughout the year students are in charge of fundraising efforts, such as crazy hair day, special dress up days and hot lunches. |
