Dear Parents, 

We are sure your child’s last year at Black Rock Primary School will be a memorable and successful one, and we look forward to working closely with you to support your child throughout the year.

- Performing Arts Captains

- Art Captains

- Library Captains

- STEM Captains

- Peer Activity Leaders

- Media Captains

- LOTE Captains

We look forward to assisting each of the students in fulfilling their roles and developing their leadership skills this year.

The following information will provide you with an overview of the Year Six curriculum that will be taught in the classroom and the ways in which it is delivered.
