Faith at Holy Family Emerton Catholic Primary

We offer our students a jump start to each new term!

Holy Family students are offered the chance to enrol in our free, 2-day school holiday 'Jump Start' program. This program is run before each new school term and incorporates a number of engaging games and learning challenges designed to prepare students for the term ahead.

As the building blocks for all learning, we have a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy throughout our learning and teaching programs.

Literacy

Our approach includes small group and individual programs which are in place to support students’ literacy needs. Specialist Reading teachers support Year 1 and Year 5 students to improve reading and comprehension skills.

In addition Holy Family supports literacy learning through:

  • Premier's Reading Challenge
  • Student and parent library borrowing
  • Opportunities to attend live drama performances
  • Voice of Youth public speaking competition.
Numeracy at Holy Family Primary Emerton

Numeracy

Holy Family provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in mathematics and working mathematically. Students have the opportunity to develop mathematical understanding, fluency, communication, reasoning, analytical thought and problem-solving skills. We teach students to select appropriate strategies to make informed decisions and problem solve.

In addition to the curriculum, Holy Family Primary supports numeracy learning through:

  • Extending Mathematical Understanding (EMU) - research-based numeracy intervention that provides small group teaching for children who need greater assistance
  • Maths Challenge Club - a free after school program providing participants with challenging Maths tasks in a fun and engaging way
  • Parent information sessions to help you support your child’s learning.
