Students
The Halidon School vision is that individual student needs are met with excellence in teaching and learning programs, building strong partnerships with our community in a supportive and nurturing environment. To facilitate this, staff have had professional learning providing current information about Department of Education initiatives and research based practices. We place a strong emphasis on the key curriculum areas of literacy, numeracy, science and HASS (History and the Social Sciences). Our students engage in a well-rounded curriculum experience based on the Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework in the early childhood years of Kindergarten-Year 2. We place a strong focus on the explicit teaching of the “basics” but also offer opportunities for children to explore and reach their potential in all other curriculum areas.
The school provides an educational program that caters for a broad spectrum of abilities, needs and interests of students ensuring the learning needs of individuals is catered for. Teachers, students, Education Assistants and parents receive support and guidance through the Student Services team.
