Curriculum
St Joseph’s Primary School, East Maitland, honours its commitment to quality Catholic education through its provision of high-quality educational programs by which each child is enabled to reach their full potential.
We are a community of learners characterised by high expectations for learners having a growth mindset to achieve excellence, academic rigour, innovation and purpose all within an environment that engages, empowers and enables.
Contemporary research shows that children learn best when:
- respectful relationships are encouraged to facilitate learning and personal growth
- instruction takes place at the child’s point of need and they are encouraged to take risks to further their learning
- there is a safe and supportive environment that promotes high expectations
- they receive feedback that is meaningful, timely and provides direction for future learning.
