Learning
At Meadow Flat Public School, we deliver the NSW curriculum through a broad range of subjects designed to support the unique learning journey of every student. We recognise that strong skills in literacy and numeracy are the foundation for academic success and everyday life. Our dedicated teachers employ proven, effective teaching strategies to help students reach their individual 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 range of subjects to match what students enjoy and want to learn about. Our skilled teachers support every student to find what they love, do their best and succeed.
Inclusive and personalised learning
Our teachers adjust how they teach to suit your child’s needs, interests and learning pace. We make sure every student feels confident and supported.
Extension opportunities
Some students are ready for more challenges. We offer open-ended tasks, enrichment programs and support. We help 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.
The curriculum is structured around six key learning areas (KLAs) as outlined by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA):
- Creative Arts
- English
- Mathematics
- Human Society and its Environment (HSIE), which includes History and Geography
- Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PD/H/PE)
- Science and Technology
Through these KLAs, we provide a well-rounded education that fosters knowledge, creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth.
To explore how we teach the NSW curriculum through key learning areas view information from NESA.
At Meadow Flat Public School, we give the right support to help advanced or talented learners grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.
Contact us to learn more about how we support high potential and gifted learners.
Parent teacher interviews are held in Term 1. During this meeting teachers and parents share information about the child, note the strengths of the child and discuss areas for development.
Contact us to discuss how we can support your child outside of the structed parent interview schedule.
Fitness sessions occur daily and consist of short sessions of physical activity. Wednesday is our sports day, and students need to wear their sports uniforms.
Our school is part of the Bathurst Small Schools Association. This is made up of 6 small schools in the Bathurst area.
We combine our schools to run our swimming carnival, athletics carnival, gala days, cross country and to form sporting teams. Students who turn 8 years or older are involved in NSW Primary School Sports Association pathways.
Students in Kindergarten and Year 1 will be involved in only some of these Bathurst Small Schools sports events.
Our learning approach
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.
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 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:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting learning goals with each student
- giving extra help with 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 in small groups
- making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and school
- helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
