Educating for the future
The learning journey at Our Lady Queen of Peace honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to lead and work both independently and collaboratively.
Educating for the future
The key learning areas
We follow the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) approved curriculum in the key learning areas of:
Religious Education
As a Catholic school we also have a strong religious dimension that runs through all the KLAs and is also formally recognised as the KLA of Religious Education.
OLQP students take part in formal Religious Education every day, based on the new Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese curriculum, Encountering Jesus. This curriculum invites all students to consider how the teachings of Jesus Christ can apply to their lives.
Religious Education
Our Lady Queen of Peace offers a contemporary curriculum centred on each student's needs. In an open and supportive environment, children are empowered to meet their full potential.
Teachers draw upon a wide variety of strategies to promote rich and meaningful learning experiences for all children. Our exceptional NAPLAN results testify to this commitment to quality Catholic education.
Our school is the ideal place to flourish and grow!
As the building blocks for all learning, we have a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy throughout our learning and teaching programs.
Literacy
Every day, students participate in dedicated class time to reading and writing. They build strong literary skills through various activities such as guided writing, reading circles, and independent tasks.Our Reading Recovery program provides specialist support so children can quickly become confident readers and writers.
Numeracy
Developing core numeracy skills are a key focus of classroom teaching. Our innovative teaching strategies grow every student's proficiency across all areas of mathematical reasoning.
Students with maths difficulties can receive specialist intervention through our Extending Mathematical Understanding (EMU) program.
We offer a varied curriculum that is engaging and relevant!
