Del Monte curriculum

Welcome back to a brand-new school year!

Our teachers have been hard at work preparing engaging and meaningful learning experiences for our students, and we are excited to begin building strong relationships with them over the coming weeks.

Just before the term began, our staff took part in a Professional Learning session with Dr Peter Ellerton, focusing on Teaching for Critical Thinking. This year, we are placing a strong emphasis on explicitly teaching critical-thinking skills and supporting students to explore their learning in deeper and more thoughtful ways.

Curriculum Overviews for each year level will be available by the end of Week 3. You will find these on the Grade Pages on Veritas Online, under the Curriculum Overviews tile. We encourage you to take some time to read through these so you can stay informed about the learning taking place in your child’s classroom this term.

We are also in the process of planning a range of excursions, incursions and hands-on activities that align with our curriculum and enrich student learning. Further details will be shared closer to each event, along with opportunities for parent helpers to get involved.

We look forward to a wonderful year ahead – one filled with curiosity, deep thinking, engaged learners and plenty of joyful experiences.
