Term 4 Curriculum

WELCOME BACK!!

Our final term of 2025. It is hard to believe how quickly this year is going. I have had the privilege to plan with our amazing staff for this term and our students are going to enjoy it so much!!

 

Our curriculum foci for this term:

  • Prep - Year 4- Design and Technology
  • Years 5 & 6 - Media Arts

Our key concept this term is CURIOSITY.

 

Please find our curriculum overviews for Term 4 below.

We can't wait to share our learning with you throughout the term!

English Tutoring Program – Term 4

As part of our Learning and Teaching program at Holy Spirit, we continue to provide additional support for students who may benefit from extra assistance in different areas of the curriculum.

 

In Term 4, English Tutoring will be offered for students in Years 4, 5 and 6. We welcome Antoinette Galioto, a former Holy Spirit classroom teacher who brings a wealth of experience and care to her role. Antoinette will work alongside the Year 4–6 staff to provide targeted support that helps students consolidate and extend their learning in English.

 

We look forward to seeing our students continue to grow in confidence and develop their skills as enthusiastic readers and writers.
