We know that strong literacy skills are the foundation for future learning, and our aim is to nurture confident communicators, imaginative thinkers, and informed citizens. That’s why our staff have worked collaboratively to design and implement whole-school programs that are aligned, impactful, and responsive to student needs.
From Pre-Primary to Year 6, every class implements a daily Literacy Block that includes all key strands — speaking and listening, spelling, reading, and writing. Literacy is also meaningfully integrated across all curriculum areas and supported by the use of digital tools such as iPads, computers, and interactive whiteboards, helping students connect their learning to real-world contexts.
Our Key Focus Areas and Strategies
From Pre-Primary to Year 6, every class implements a daily Literacy Block that includes all key strands — speaking and listening, spelling, reading, and writing. Literacy is also meaningfully integrated across all curriculum areas and supported by the use of digital tools such as iPads, computers, and interactive whiteboards, helping students connect their learning to real-world contexts.
As part of our commitment to low-variance, high-impact teaching, we regularly and rigorously analyse student progress and achievement data. This allows us to evaluate the impact of our teaching, respond to emerging needs, and celebrate the growth of every learner.
At Lesmurdie Primary School, literacy is more than just a subject — it’s a school-wide priority, embedded in our shared vision for success and supported by a strong culture of collaboration and excellence in teaching.
