English
Teachers at Navarre Primary School plan their work programs on a term, weekly and daily basis to ensure they are teaching to each student’s current point of need. Much emphasis is placed on knowing where each student is at with their learning so that the teacher knows what the student is then ready to learn next.
English is the subject of greatest emphasis in our school. Students at Navarre Primary School study English and communication skills through the areas of Speaking & Listening, Reading and Writing. Ten hours per week are allocated to this vital subject, with the prime hours of 9am - 11am daily devoted to classroom teaching of literacy skills. In addition to the traditional skills in literacy, Navarre Primary School places strong emphasis on students acquiring sophisticated skills in IT literacy, critical thinking and public speaking.
Students partake in Reading and Writing groups daily to ensure their point of needs are met and growth occurs in a scaffolded targeted way.
