Learning
At Canterbury South Public School, we deliver the NSW curriculum through rich and varied subjects that nurture every student’s growth. We place a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, knowing these are the foundations for lifelong learning and success.
Collaborative teaching environments
At our school, students benefit from a successful co-teaching model where two-four qualified teachers work together in the same hub. This means more attention for each child, more flexible learning, and more support—whether your child needs extra help or extra challenge. With collaborative teachers combining their expertise, every student is seen, supported and set up to succeed.
Explicit teaching that works
Clear, structured instruction supported by evidence based strategies to ensure every student succeeds.
Together we can work towards your child's SMART goals
We meet with you and your child twice a year to set and review your child's goals.
Strong foundations in literacy
A focus on synthetic phonics, with targeted support through evidence based programs such as MiniLit for students who need extra help.
Wellbeing at the centre
Building resilience, empathy and student voice through The Resilience Project and a whole school focus on wellbeing.
Technology for learning
Using digital tools to enhance engagement, develop future ready skills and support creative problem solving.

What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
At our school, students can take part in special religious education (SRE) or special education in ethics (SEE) classes. These classes are delivered by approved providers.
When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.
You’re welcome to change your choice at any time. Just let us know in writing or use the online form (if available at our school).

At our school, we give the right support to help advanced or talented learners grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.
