Curriculum Overview

In Stage 3, students build upon foundational knowledge and develop essential skills across various subjects. Curriculum Overviews provide parents with a comprehensive understanding of what their children will learn during this stage. The Curriculum Overviews are updated at the beginning of each term, as teaching programs and developed and implemented. Parents can view the current Curriculum Overviews through Veritas online by clicking on the Gioia House Years 5-6 page, then following the links through Gioia House Program and Academic Course Overview, and select Year 5 or Year 6. 

The Curriculum Overviews empower parents by offering a clear roadmap of the topics, skills, and concepts covered in each subject. By knowing what to expect, parents can better support their child’s learning journey at home and engage in meaningful conversations with teachers. The Curriculum Overviews follow the specific learning outcomes set by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), and are followed by teachers to design effective lessons. Parents can use this to track their child’s progress and collaborate with teachers to identify areas where additional support may be needed. Curriculum overviews are valuable tools that bridge the gap between school and home. By actively participating in your child’s education, you contribute to their overall success.
