The school¿s curriculum covers the eight learning areas and capabilities as required in the Victorian Curriculum framework.
Curriculum provision is based on a 'dual streams' organisational arrangement:
- a 'mainstream¿ curriculum stream which is based on multi-age education philosophies
- a curriculum stream aligned with an Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) recognised alternative Curriculum Framework, based on the educational philosophies of Rudolf Steiner
Both streams use the Victorian Curriculum content descriptions as a reference point, and are underpinned by the Victorian Curriculum.
Different learning styles are catered for at the school and to meet the individual needs of all students, two different methods of curriculum delivery are offered. The two curriculum streams operate in parallel within the school. Parents can place their child in whichever stream is more appropriate for the individual child.
In keeping with the school motto " Growing Together " all members of the community, children, staff, or parents are supported to feel that they belong. Staff ensure equal educational opportunities for all students in the classroom and during outdoor activities. We cater for a diversity of socio economic and cultural backgrounds. The dedication and loyalty of both staff and parents are the school's most important asset. The staff includes teachers, and specialists in art/craft, physical education, library, dance, LOTE (French) and music. East Bentleigh is well known for the outstanding quality of its arts and environmental programs. A particular delight to children and parents alike, are the many musical and dramatic performances held throughout the year.
