Primary Curriculum
Prep - Grade 6
Collingwood College’s Prep – Grade 6 offers diverse learning and engagement opportunities for our students. Our primary curriculum is underpinned by the Victorian Curriculum for teaching and learning and we’re delighted to offer two streams; a Steiner program and a Mainstream program.
Whether students are in the Steiner or Mainstream programs, our passionate teaching team works cohesively across both streams to ensure the best academic outcomes for our students. Both streams’ assessment and planning is based on the Victorian Curriculum.
Reggio Emilia Inspired Prep – 2
Our Reggio Emilia-inspired early years program has a curriculum focussed on fostering students’ social and emotional wellbeing. The program is further enhanced by our dynamic open plan working spaces, and a collegiate approach to the planning and delivery of the Victorian Curriculum. Here, students get the opportunity to engage in art and performing arts, PE, as well as Chinese Mandarin.
Reggio Emilia Inspired 3 – 6
Victorian Curriculum/Project-based learning
The Reggio Emilia* approach to learning is carried through to the upper primary years with project-based inquiry learning. Throughout these years, students are the drivers of their learning — weaving project topics into the literacy and numeracy curriculum. Students also engage in Art, Performing Arts, PE, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, and Chinese Mandarin.
Specialist Steiner Primary Stream
