We use a Whole School Approach to Pedagogy, ensuring consistent and evidence-based teaching practices across all year levels. Our curriculum is delivered through Age-Appropriate Pedagogies, fostering high levels of student engagement, and Deep Learning frameworks that develop students' ability to think critically, collaborate and solve real-world problems. Embedded within this approach are the 6Cs—Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Citizenship and Character—which equip students with the skills needed for lifelong success.
Pacific Pines Primary embraces digital innovation, integrating technology into learning to enhance creativity, problem-solving and digital literacy. Our Excellence Programs in Sport, The Arts and Japanese provide students with opportunities to extend their talents, while targeted Academic Programs support and challenge students to reach their full potential.
The Australian Curriculum also emphasises the development of General Capabilities, which are embedded across all subjects:
- Literacy
- Numeracy
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability
- Critical and Creative Thinking
- Ethical Understanding
- Personal and Social Capability
- Intercultural Understanding
In addition, we incorporate three cross-curriculum priorities to provide a broad and inclusive learning experience:

- Sustainability
Our goal is to ensure that every student at Pacific Pines Primary receives a future-focused education that inspires curiosity, fosters resilience and equips them with the knowledge and skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.
