Our school utilises an explicit, direct instruction approach. Explicit resources such as Little Learners Love Literacy, Ochre and the Orton Gillingham Approach are used to compliment high quality teaching practices. Core lessons are delivered utilising a direct instruction approach, complimented by differentiated activities for students to independently practice their skills.

Teachers work in junior and senior school teams to collaboratively plan, for collegial support and to develop the slides utilised in literacy and numeracy sessions. To further achieve Literacy and Numeracy goals for our students, teachers at CSPS are committed to meet on a weekly basis as a Professional Learning Community (PLC), to assess and analyse student performance data, create and implement IEP¿s and to plan for preciseand personalised teaching in the classroom, with a subsequent weekly professional learning meeting.
