Overview

At St Peter’s School we have a deep commitment to nurturing children in the Catholic faith through the use of the new Frameworks in Religious Education.  We also offer a comprehensive curriculum in line with the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. 

Strands

There are three core interrelated strands:

Physical, Personal and Social Learning Strand

This strand involves the processes of physical, personal and social development and growth. Learning in this strand supports students to manage themselves as individuals and in relation to others.

Discipline Based Learning

This strand involves the branches of learning reflected in the traditional disciplines. Learning in this strand supports students to understand the world in which they live.

Inter Disciplinary Learning

This strand involves the interdisciplinary capacities needed for effective functioning within and beyond the school. Learning in this strand supports students to act effectively in the world.

The strands are covered in 14 domains (subject areas) which are interwoven across the curriculum.
