In Preschool at Majura Primary School we teach the Early Years Learning Framework that focuses on ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’. The Framework conveys the highest expectations for all children’s learning, development and wellbeing and communicates these expectations through the following 5 Learning Outcomes:

* Children have a strong sense of identity

* Children are connected with and contribute to their world

* Children have a strong sense of wellbeing

* Children are confident and involved learners

* Children are effective communicators.

In Years K - 6 we teach the Australian Curriculum. We use these to facilitate all children’s learning, development and wellbeing and ensure children are supported, celebrated, and connected to their community.

Cross-Curriculum Priorities

In the Australian Curriculum, the cross-curriculum priorities provide students with the tools and language to engage with, and better understand, their world at a range of levels. Incorporation of the priorities encourage conversations between learning areas and between students, teachers and the wider community.

At Majura Primary School the priorities are addressed through learning areas. They have a strong but varying presence depending on their relevance to the learning area. The cross-curriculum priorities are:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Culture (page link)
• Asia and Australia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia
• Sustainability (page link)

General Capabilities

In the Australian Curriculum, general capabilities encompass knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions. Students develop capability when they apply knowledge and skills confidently, effectively and appropriately in complex and changing circumstances, in their learning at school and in their lives outside school.

At Majura Primary School we address the general capabilities through the content of the learning areas. The General Capabilities are:

• Literacy
• Numeracy
