At Murrum Primary School, we believe that education should be engaging, hands-on, and developmentally appropriate. Our curriculum is carefully designed to nurture academic, social, emotional, and physical growth in young children while making learning fun and meaningful.

Our school program follows an explicit teaching model with structured and supported learning activities. We incorporate elements from research-backed childhood education frameworks, including:

The Big 6

These are the building blocks of language and literacy: Oral Language, vocabulary, phonological awareness, phonics, comprehension and fluency.

Victorian Curriculum 2.0

Victoria’s VCAA curriculum grounded in the Australian Curriculum.

Explicit Teaching

Is a direct, systematic approach where teachers clearly explain and model new content, breaking it into smaller, manageable steps to minimise cognitive overload.

Our curriculum focuses on the following key developmental areas:

• Social & Emotional Development

• Early Maths & Problem-Solving
• Science & Discovery
• Fine & Gross Motor Skills
• Creativity & Imagination
