Year three has two single classes with a total of 41 students. Each teacher has special talents and interests that enrich their student's experiences including music, art, cooking and craft.

Our Program offers interactive experiences in a friendly and stimulating learning environment that encourages children to be fully engaged in their learning. The teachers plan cooperatively in all curriculum areas. The needs and abilities of the children are considered carefully when developing units of work. Technology and use of the internet is incorporated in most areas of the curriculum.

Literacy: Our literacy program aims to develop all aspects of reading and viewing, writing, speaking and listening. The daily two hour literacy block provides an opportunity for children to enhance their skills through guided reading, reciprocal teaching and independent literacy activities. Educational computer programs are utilised extensively.

Mathematics: Our classes use the Go Maths program which follows the guidelines presented by the new Maths Curriculum. Our program relies heavily on the use of hands-on activities and games as well as offering extension activities for students.

The year three children are taught to respect each other and are encouraged to produce work to the best of their ability.

A happy child with a desire to learn independently is the major goal for this year level.
