Future focused learning
We want our students to be '21st Century Learners'
What sets Peakhurst South Public School apart from other schools are our innovative practices. We are up to date with the latest in ICT as well as best practice research in teaching our students of today. We want our students to leave Peakhurst South Public School with a love of learning.
If you chose PSPS for your child's education they will have access to 3D Printing, Robotics, ipads, laptops, LED Touchscreen Technology and access to our Modern Learning Space. This allows for flexible learning as students can opt to use alternative furniture or even stand up!
7Cs of 21st Century Learners
At Peakhurst South Public School we teach the '7Cs of 21st Century Learners.'
This ensures that our students develop the necessary skills that will be required in their future world. The workplace is already changing and we believe it is important at PSPS to ensure that we stay abreast of these changes!
Be amazed by what our students and teachers are doing at Peakhurst South Public School in teaching our students on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), Coding and Future-Focused Learning.
Literacy and Numeracy
At Peakhurst South Public School we ensure that our students receive the highest quality education. Our teachers and students are currently working with Joanne Rossbridge in developing our students written skills. Joanne is one of the top Literacy Consultants in Australia. She currently works for Primary English Teaching Association Australia (PETAA) and lecturing at Sydney University.
Numeracy
In Numeracy we are currently utilising a whole school mathematics program developed by a number of Numeracy consultants both in Australia and internationally. The program is called 'Stepping Stones' and it focuses on problem solving and applying learnt knowledge and concepts.
