Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Why choose us for your child’s learning?
Strong foundations
We focus on the skills your child needs to succeed in school and beyond. This helps them feel confident and prepared for the future.
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 teachers adjust how they teach to suit your child’s needs, interests and learning pace. We make sure every student feels confident and supported.
Extension opportunities
Some students are ready for more challenges. We offer open-ended tasks that 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
At Granville Public School, we believe every child can succeed. That’s why we use Explicit Instruction (EI) as our main way of teaching. This is a clear, structured, step-by-step approach that helps all students learn essential skills and knowledge with confidence.
Explicit Instruction is more than just “talking at” students. Teachers break new learning into small, manageable steps, explain each part clearly, and guide students through lots of practice until they are confident. This approach keeps lessons focused, makes learning easier to remember, and helps students use what they’ve learned in real life.
Our approach is backed by the work of world-leading education experts, who have shown that well-planned, evidence-based teaching has a big impact on student success.
Helping students progress
What this means for your child:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- They get clear explanations and examples for every new skill.
- Learning is broken into small steps so it’s easier to follow.
- Teachers check understanding often, so no one is left behind.
- Students have plenty of guided practice before working on their own.
- Every child is supported to make strong progress, no matter their starting point.
At Granville Public School, our goal is for every student to grow and achieve their personal best each year, and Explicit Instruction helps make that possible.
