Course Details

Kurrajong

Kurrajong is Pulteney’s Early Learning Centre - Year 2 continuum of early childhood education. All children enrolled have access to programs with strong literacy components that include clear adaptations for children with special or gifted needs. A Values and Ethics program underpins our curriculum to support students to become resilient and socially competent.

The ELC follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) to teach their curriculum and Reception-Year 2 use the Australian Curriculum (ACARA).

Early Years Learning Framework

This framework provides principles that ensure that all children are assisted to make progress towards the learning outcomes. A strong emphasis is placed on play-based learning and the importance of communication and language. Early literacy and numeracy are essential components in the support and enhancement of the children’s development.

Prep School

The Prep School provides an enriched learning environment that focuses on supporting the students in Years 3 to 6 on a challenging journey of discovery and learning.

An innovative program, based on the Australian Curriculum, places a strong emphasis on the explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy, as the children are encouraged to become creative and independent in their thinking and reflective in their learning.

The Prep School’s learning environment facilitates the development of the Critical, Creative and Ethical intelligences.

Critical Intelligence involves the skills of language, mathematical and verbal reasoning, logic, memory and processing of information. These abilities are developed through a structured and focused academic curriculum, which supports and challenges all students.

Subjects such as the Humanities and Social Sciences (History, Geography, Science, Civics and Citizenship and Economics and Business) are taught through an integrated studies approach. An integrated curriculum is one that transcends the boundaries imposed by traditional subject groupings. It allows students to move across disciplines as they learn about their world.
