Learning

At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and cater to the unique learning needs of every student. We understand that strong literacy and numeracy skills are essential foundations for learning and daily life. Our teachers employ proven teaching strategies to help students reach their full potential and achieve their goals.

Why choose us for your child’s learning?

What students learn

Students engage with a broad and diverse NSW curriculum that covers six key learning areas. Through this curriculum, they develop essential lifelong skills, nurture their creativity, and are well-prepared for life beyond school.

Teaching and learning at Wattle Grove Public School

At Wattle Grove Public School, we are committed to making learning clear, engaging, and purposeful for every student. Our teaching practices are grounded in the principles of What Works Best, ensuring that instruction is explicit, effective, and responsive to students’ needs. This approach helps learners understand what they are learning, why it matters, and how to apply their knowledge with confidence.

We place a strong emphasis on building solid foundations in literacy and numeracy. We believe that giving every child the best possible start begins with high-quality instruction in these essential areas, setting them up for success across all stages of learning.

We value the important role parents and carers play as a child’s first teacher and are committed to working in partnership with families to support student success. Together, we foster a love of learning that begins in the early years and continues throughout a child’s school life.

Our learning environments are student-centred and responsive, adapting to meet the diverse needs of all learners. Our dedicated teachers collaborate regularly, engage in high-impact professional learning, and continually reflect on their practice to ensure every student is supported to succeed. By combining high expectations with effective feedback and targeted support, we create the conditions for every student to thrive.

Teaching and learning at our school combines evidence-informed teaching with meaningful learning experiences, ensuring students are engaged, confident, and ready for the future.

Supporting Every Child’s Growth and Success

Dedicated to helping students reach their full potential, we work closely with each student to track their progress, set meaningful goals, and provide the support they need to succeed.

Here’s how we ensure every student’s journey is supported:

• Regular Progress Checks: We continuously monitor student data and progress and provide clear, timely feedback to move students' learning forward.
• Personalised Learning Goals:  Students work with their teacher to set individual learning goals, helping them stay focused and motivated.
• Tailored Support: For students with additional needs, we create personalised plans and provide support from specialist staff to help them thrive.
• Transparent Reporting: We keep parents and carers informed about their child’s progress, ensuring they are always aware of how their child is doing.
• Targeted Literacy and Numeracy Support: Small group sessions provide focused support in key areas like literacy and numeracy, helping students build confidence and foundational skills.
• Wellbeing as a Priority: We integrate wellbeing into daily learning, helping students develop emotional resilience alongside academic growth.
• Home and School Partnership: We collaborate with families to support learning both at school and at home, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
• Smooth Transitions: Whether it's starting school, moving to a new learning stage or into high school, we guide students through key transition points with care and support.

We believe in a nurturing, well-rounded approach that supports each student not only in their academic development but also in their personal growth. By working together with families, we create an environment where every child can flourish.
