CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
The curriculum offerings at Trinity Junior School are very much in line with the Curriculum Framework developed by the Curriculum Council in 1998. The Framework has provided the school with the opportunity to refine and renew the way we teach in the eight learning areas and move towards an outcomes approach to teaching and learning.

ASSESSMENT
Student progress is reviewed regularly using a variety of means. Profiles are sent home each term and include work samples representing areas covered and are considered worthy examples of a student’s current effort. Other assessments include:
• A formal report written by the classroom teacher – at the end of Terms 2 and 4.
• Self-assessments completed on selected pieces of work.
• Parent response forms – giving parents the opportunity to make comment and arrange an interview with specific teachers.

LITERACY PROGRAMME
Trinity Junior School is committed to maximizing achievement in Literacy for every student. Currently we are working, in conjunction with the Catholic Education Office of WA, to fulfil the Raising Achievement in Schools (RAISe) initiative. This initiative draws heavily on current national and international research. RAISe aims to provide an educational approach that is both comprehensive and successful. It focuses on building teacher expertise in order to achieve this.
Literacy programmes in the Junior School provide the students with authentic and relevant purposes for using language. Teachers are given the opportunity to work at a whole class, small group and at an individual student level in order to cater for the diverse range of student needs found in most classrooms.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
ICT is incorporated into all areas of the curriculum. With an up to date computer laboratory and three classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards, students are able to use a range of software to enhance learning opportunities.
