From the beginning of Term 1 2024, schools and kura with students in years 0-8 will spend an average of one hour a day teaching each reading, writing, and maths. This will be business as usual for the students at Sacred Heart Cathedral School.

Everyday our students read, write, and engage with maths in a variety of purposes and meaningful contexts.

Our staff will deliberately and purposefully dedicate time to teaching these core skills. Teaching techniques like investigations, collaborative learning, and games will continue to be used so students stay engaged with their learning.

Our students receive regular, focused instruction in these core areas.

Learning to read, write, and do maths is important in everything we do. Our staff will continue to provide quality instruction. This coupled with a high-quality local curriculum taught using evidence-informed teaching practices will be just the ticket to lift progress and achievement. 

For the above to happen, we need your child at school every day (unless they are sick).

Attendance is the key to making great progress across the curriculum.
