Curriculum Overview
At Bruthen Primary School, we deliver a rich and engaging curriculum guided by the Victorian Curriculum F–10, which sets out the essential knowledge, skills, and capabilities students are expected to develop from Foundation to Year 6.
Our primary program is designed to build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, while also fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning across all subject areas. We focus on developing the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—to prepare them for lifelong learning and success.
