Curriculum Review
To ensure our curricula remain relevant and up to date with best practices we engage in a five year curriculum review cycle where each of our instructional areas undergoes a thorough examination.
This ensures each of our classrooms and subject areas are well stocked and equipped with the latest learning tools and materials, identify opportunities for ongoing staff training and professional learn, analyze student achievement data to assess where and how we can better target learning activities, and reflect upon how can continue to grow, develop, and improve our teaching and learning practices.
