Subjects

Christian Studies

The curriculum includes a Christian studies component, considered equally important in terms of lesson time and effort as any other key learning area. We are currently using a nation-wide Christian Studies Curriculum Framework, developed and endorsed by the Lutheran Church of Australia, and implemented in all Lutheran schools throughout Australia.

English (Literacy)

Languages other than English (LOTE)

A language other than English is taught to all children to extend their learning skills and to gain greater cultural awareness. Students in Reception to Year 5 study German with the Year 6 and 7’s Indonesian.

Mathematics (Numeracy)

At Lobethal Lutheran School the students are exposed to the five key learning areas of the Mathematics Framework:

• Pattern & Algebraic Reasoning
• Number
• Exploring, Analysing and Modelling Data
• Spatial Sense and Geometric Reasoning
• Thinking and Working Mathematically

Students develop skills that balance the acquisition of knowledge, skills and processes in mathematics that will enable them to perform mathematical tasks in everyday life.

Outcomes are mapped in each level which ensures students are exposed to all areas of the mathematics curriculum throughout their time at Lobethal Lutheran School.

Society and Environment (SOSE)

Health and Physical Educationn

Studies in Physical Education and Health offer students a balance between Knowledge, processes and skills which will develop their ability to make informed decision and judgements regarding their own and other’s physical, social and emotional well-being.

Co-operation, healthy living and emotional development are key components to this area of the curriculum.

Design and Technology

The Arts

Through Art, children learn to value their own uniqueness and to appreciate the individuality of others. To achieve this, students are exposed to many highly creative experiences and materials and are often integrated into other curriculum areas.
