Stage 2 classes work very closely. Stage-based units exist in HSIE and Science. The students study many aspects of Australia with particular reference to life in the early days and the colonisation of Australia. An exciting excursion to Elizabeth Farm and Experiment Farm was run with many students coming in period costume. 

 

Count Me In Too strategies are used to promote an understanding of the number strand in mathematics. In 2005, Count Me In Measurement was introduced with a school facilitator assisting the teachers. The students really enjoy this hands-on approach to learning. Recently, two classes participated in the mass choir, a part of the Hills Music Festival. Other students had their debut performance in the school’s Performing Band and junior dance troupe. The night proved very entertaining with a wide variety of performances. Time is set aside each week to develop specific computer skills. A focus in Stage 2 classes is for students to improve their word processing skills and understanding of PowerPoint and Kid Pix programs.
