Teaching and Learning
At Coburg North Primary School, we are committed to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment where students develop the skills, knowledge, and personal attributes needed for the future. Our approach is centred around the 6Cs: Collaboration, Creativity, Character Education, Citizenship, Communication, and Critical Thinking. These competencies are embedded in all learning experiences, ensuring our students are well-prepared to thrive as global citizens.
Literacy and Numeracy
We prioritise explicit instruction in literacy and numeracy, using evidence-based methods to support student learning:
- Reading: Phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension are taught systematically.
- Writing: Focused on meaningful contexts, incorporating handwriting, phonics, and spelling.

- Numeracy: Hands-on experiences with concrete materials, connecting learning to real-life situations and open-ended tasks.

Inquiry and Challenge-Based Learning
Our curriculum emphasises Inquiry Learning and Challenge-Based Learning, where students tackle real-world issues using technology and collaborative problem-solving. This approach fosters deep understanding and practical application of knowledge. - Guided Play (Foundation): Encourages social and emotional development through activities linked to literacy and numeracy, supporting concepts explored during The Resilience Project lessons. - Challenge-Based Learning (Years 1-6): Engages students with real-world problems, enhancing their understanding through practical application and annual Student Led Exhibitions showcasing their skills. |
