Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects 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 effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Kindergarten - Year 6 students at Kalinda School follow the mainstream NSW curriculum.
Year 7 - Year 12 students at Kalinda School follow the life skills NSW curriculum.
