In the last two years, we have extended and updated many facilities while continuing the development of our curriculum. Throughout this period, we have also focused on professional development of our teaching staff to provide quality education for our students.

We keep improving our curriculum with new initiatives and programs every year. Some of the programs we are incorporating this year are Minilit, Reading tutor classes, Enrichment programs and Instrumental music classes. Also, we will continue to pursue extra-curricular activities such as Folk Dancing, Soccer Club and Pastoral care. These activities aim to enhance our students’ academic learning but also artistic, sportive and social enhancement. We believe that the new electives and after school activities will make our students’ school year more enjoyable.

As Amity College staff, our aim is to create a conducive learning environment for all the students, meanwhile developing strong relationships with our parents. Our students’ success mostly relies on working in cooperation with families. Therefore, collective effort and good communication between teachers and parents are one of our essential principles.

At Amity College, we strive to create a school environment that is conducive to learning in all aspects of life. The inspiring and compassionate nature of the staff coupled with diverse and challenging curriculums foster critical thinking and set the foundations of academic excellence. While various extra-curricular activities allow students to develop their individual talents, comprehensive student pastoral care programs and strong ties with parents contribute towards character development and in reaching full potential.

Our vision at Amity College is the achievement of academic and creative excellence as well as the nurturing of moral and socially responsible students so as to enable them to participate as informed, active, caring and contributing citizens in our democratic Australian society. This vision is also captured in the College’s fresh and vibrant logo; an open book that symbolises the acts of learning, inquiry, exploring, achieving and inspiring. At Amity College, we are ambitious to establish a culture of excellence in the light of diversity and harmony, which are expressed through the lively colours exhibited in the College’s logo.

The Amity College primary curriculum follows the requirements of the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW (BOSTES) and is designed to:

Equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to build a strong foundation for their learning
Give students a strong start in literacy through a range of intervention programs
Encourage each student to achieve at their highest level in a range of subjects
Develop academic, artistic, musical, naturalist and sporting intelligence
Equip each student with knowledge of a language other than English
Develop moral values and attitudes

Learning experiences in all KLAs are designed to be authentic and meaningful, enabling students to develop higher order thinking skills through the incorporation of inquiry-based learning, and creative and critical thinking skills.

Teaching and learning programs are differentiated to cater for all learners, including adjustments and extensions to enable all students to work to their ability. In addition, a range of additional support and/or enrichment programs are available at Amity College. These include MiniLit, an early intervention literacy program, MultiLit (Reading Tutor), EAL/D and Enrichment Programs. ICTs are integrated across all KLA’s through the use of interactive whiteboards in all classrooms as well as student use of the computer lab each week. In addition to this, a set of iPad’s are available in each campus to further integrate ICT into student learning.

Thus, the primary curriculum provides the building blocks for our students to become confident and successful learners, and active, informed citizens. Students in Years 1-6 are given the opportunity to choose from a range of elective activities on offer, including the Kitchen Garden program, folk dancing, music, art/craft and sports. Students also have the option to participate in the school choir or music group, as well as after-school folk dancing and music lessons. To ensure a smoother transition from primary to high school, the Year 6 curriculum is delivered by different teachers. This ensures that students are accustomed to the high school structure and the way in which the curriculum is delivered.
