Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Why choose us for your child’s learning?
Strong foundations
We focus on the skills your child needs to succeed in school and beyond. This helps them feel confident and prepared for the future.
High-quality education
We offer a wide range of subjects that reflect student interests. Our teachers support every student in finding what they enjoy, giving their personal best, and feeling proud of their achievements.
Inclusive and personalised learning
Our teachers adjust how they teach to suit your child’s needs, interests and learning pace. We ensure every student feels confident, supported, and ready to learn.
Extension opportunities
Students who are ready for more challenge are offered open-ended tasks, enrichment activities and support. We encourage all students to reach their full potential.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
Government schools are required to allow time for special religious education. It is delivered by authorised representatives of approved religious groups to students who have nominated that religion.
At Burraneer Bay Public School students have the opportunity to take part in special religious education (SRE) or special education in ethics (SEE) classes.
When enrolling your child, you are required to nominate which group you would like your child to attend. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.

Our learning approach
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- tracking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting personal learning goals with students
- offering additonal support through personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support
- including wellbeing in everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and at school
- guiding students through key transitions, like starting school, changing schools or moving to a new stage of learning.
