Primary

Faith is a Qld registered school which means we must deliver, assess and report on all eight ACARA key learning areas to students enrolled in our school (English, Maths, HASS, Science, HPE, Technologies, Languages, The Arts). Subject exemptions are only ever granted in circumstances where external medical providers indicate this is necessary. It is very rare. That being said, many of our families enjoy the flexibility with how and when they will engage with the curriculum we offer.  It is different from family to family.

Class teachers have set teaching times in which they are not contactable and they also attend meetings here and there, but generally they are available most days. Email is the preferred contact, but it is common for our teachers to make phone calls to families about particular needs as they arise. We have close relationships with our families as we support them each on their individual learning journey. You are 'enrolled' in that class, so regardless of whether you engage in online lessons or not, that teacher is actively overseeing your students' education through regular communication.

Some families attend every lesson and submit every work sample. Others watch the lesson recordings after the lesson has been presented and complete the formative checkpoints and summative assessments. Still others engage in the workbook activities presented at Faith and submit formative checkpoints and summative assessments for marking and reporting.

Any work not submitted for marking, by the due date, is assigned an NR (Not Rateable) result, which then reflects on report card results as an NR.

Primary workbooks are designed to encompass all the necessary learning materials for each team. Students have the option to complete their work solely through the workbooks if they prefer or if they find themselves in an area with poor internet connectivity. We understand the importance of flexibility for families.

While online classes are a valuable part of the learning experience, we recognise that circumstances vary. For those unable to attend live sessions, all lessons are recorded. This way, students can access and review the material at a time that is convenient for them. We recommend watching the recorded lessons, as they provide additional insights, and the teacher's explanations can be particularly helpful in tackling complex problems.
