The Early Years of schooling provide the foundation for future success in learning and life. At Notre Dame College, we nurture the strengths, interests and individual needs of every child through engaging learning experiences grounded in the Australian Curriculum and enriched by our Catholic faith and Marist charism.
Students develop strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and wellbeing while building the skills to become independent learners, collaborate with others and embrace new challenges. Through explicit teaching, consistent routines, high expectations and supportive relationships, students are given multiple opportunities to build knowledge, demonstrate understanding, and develop their thinking and reasoning skills.
We are committed to creating learning environments where every child feels known, valued and capable. Our goal is to foster confident, curious and resilient learners who are equipped to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Students participate in a rich and engaging curriculum that promotes knowledge, creativity, wellbeing and faith development across the following learning areas:
• Religious Education
• English
• Mathematics
• Science
• Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS)
• Health and Physical Education
• The Arts (Music, Dance, Drama, Media Arts and Visual Arts)
• Design and Digital Technologies
Through meaningful learning experiences and strong partnerships between school and home, we inspire a lifelong love of learning and support every child to reach their full potential.
