School Profile

The Teaching and Learning Program

Teachers at Clyde Primary School are committed to providing skilled and innovative teaching based on current educational research and ongoing professional learning. This includes recognising and addressing the learning needs of individual students, and fostering a love of learning that will empower our children to thrive in a globally connected, changing world.

English The teaching of English is given priority at our school. Students at Clyde develop their English and

communication skills through the explicit teaching of carefully planned Speaking and Listening,

Reading and Writing activities. In addition to the traditional literacy skills, Clyde places a strong emphasis on students acquiring sophisticated skills in computer and visual literacies and critical

thinking.

Science & Technology Science has a high profile at Clyde Primary School. Students explore the fields of Biological,

Technological and Physical Science. The students learn to observe, investigate,

analyse, reason, question and seek solutions. An Inquiry Based Learning approach helps students to be aware of their own thinking and learning.

Specialist Teacher Programs

Visual Arts Students develop skills in drawing, painting, sculpting, construction and

art appreciation. Student works are planned and carefully prepared for

display to showcase the creativity and innovation of their designs.

games sessions are taken by classroom teachers. In the senior years

students are also involved in at least one hour of sport per week.

Humanities include the studies of societies and their environments, it looks at people and their

cultures in the past and present. This subject provides students with key understandings to make meaning of the world around them.
