The educational program is based on the Victorian Curriculum.
The curriculum is the common set of knowledge and skills required by the students for lifelong learning, social development and active and informed citizenship.
The school’s curriculum also encompasses Religious Education with faith development, social justice and developing knowledge of the Catholic tradition.
The English and Mathematics programs emphasise explicit teaching and focused group activities planned from data gained from ongoing assessment and monitoring.

All curriculum content is guided by the Victorian Curriculum and Catholic Education Sandhurst.
