Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. Learning is thoughtfully designed with students’ interests and capabilities at the heart, ensuring engaging and personalised experiences that inspire growth and success. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use researched based, effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Why choose us for your child’s learning?
Strong foundations
At North Wagga Public School, we build strong foundations by focusing on essential literacy and numeracy skills tailored to each student’s needs to succeed in school and beyond. As a small, close-knit school, we pride ourselves on nurturing every learner in a supportive environment, strengthened by meaningful connections with our wider community.
High-quality education
We offer a range of subjects to match what students enjoy and want to learn about. Our skilled teachers support every student to find what they love, do their best and succeed.
Inclusive and personalised learning
Our experienced and dedicated teachers adjust how they teach to suit your child’s needs, interests and learning pace. They frequently liaise with the Learning and Support Team to discuss individual student needs where Personalised Learning Plans may be created. We make sure every student feels confident and supported.
Extension opportunities
Some students are ready for more challenges. We offer open-ended tasks, enrichment programs and support. We help all students to reach their full potential.
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, depending on what’s available. 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).

Our learning approach
Our school uses researched based explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
· real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
· technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
· flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
· community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
· checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
· setting learning goals with our students
· giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
· reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
· providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
· making wellbeing part of everyday learning
· working with families to support learning at home and school
helping students through transitions, like starting school, high school preparation or moving to a new stage of learning.
