Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum tailored to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use current best practice teaching strategies to support students achieve their goals.
Why choose us for your child’s learning?
Strong foundations
We focus on the skills your child needs to succeed in school and beyond. This helps them feel confident and prepared for the future.
High-quality education
Guided by current research into best practice, our dedicated, caring teachers support every student's academic, social-emotional and personal growth.
Inclusive and personalised learning
Our teachers adjust how they teach to suit every student's needs, interests and learning style. We make sure every student feels known, valued and cared for.
Extension opportunities
We have strong focus on supporting High Potential and Gifted students. We offer open-ended tasks, enrichment and extension programs across the four domains of potential.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
At our school, students can take part in Catholic or Protestant Special Religious Education (SRE) or Special Education in Ethics (SEE) classes. These classes are delivered by approved providers on a Thursday afternoon.
When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.
You’re welcome to change your choice at any time.

At our school, we give the right support to help high potential or gifted learners grow and achieve their potential.
We prioritise identifying students who show signs of higher potential early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with adjustments and activities that match their strengths.

Our learning approach
Brisbania Public School is focused on a school-wide explicit teaching approach. This means we clearly explain, demonstrate and model to students:
- why they are learning something
- what their learning goals are
- how it connects to what they already know
- what they are expected to do
- how to do it
- what it looks like when they have succeeded.
Students are given opportunities and time to:
- show their understanding of what has been taught
- ask questions to clarify and build understanding
- practise using skills and knowledge they have learnt
- receive clear, timely and effective feedback.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional learning to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through extended networks of our local Three Villages community, Tjudibaring Local AECG, the Erina Learning Community and the Brisbane Water Network.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- monitoring their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting student led personal and academic learning goals
- giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- prioritising wellbeing as part of everyday learning
