Curriculum

At Emerald Christian College the Australian Curriculum is taught. The Australian Curriculum is designed to teach students what it takes to be confident and creative individuals and become active and informed citizens. It sets the goal for what all students should learn as they progress through their school life – wherever they live in Australia and whatever school they attend.

Junior Years - Prep to Year 5

From the first year of schooling to Year 5, students develop knowledge and skills in eight learning areas:

English
Mathematics
Science
Health and Physical Education (HPE)
Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) (History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship and Economics and Business)
The Arts (At ECC we do 2 strands of the Arts, Music and Visual Arts due to the expertise available)
Technologies
Languages (German is taught to primary classes Prep to Year 5)

In the early years, priority is given to literacy and numeracy development as the foundations for further learning. As students make their way through the primary years, they focus more on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all eight learning areas. In secondary schooling, students are taught by specialist teachers.
