Mathematics follows the Australian curriculum, and English literacy is guided by a UK framework to ensure structured progression in reading and writing. Mandarin (Putonghua) is taught as a core subject with daily lessons from specialist teachers. Christian Studies and the Jigsaw PSHE programme are also included to support values education and personal development. This combination provides students with a balanced, internationally recognised foundation for future learning.
