A collaborative approach is used by the Year 1 and 2 VPS staff through team planning and the integration of whole-school programs, such as Promoting Literacy Development (PLD) and Maths Trek. This ensures every student receives and participates in consistent learning. MiniLit is an evidence-based early intervention program for selected Year 1 and students that targets Literacy skills.
The Walker Learning program, introduced in Kindy and Pre-Primary, continues in Years 1 and 2. Learning experiences based on student interests are provided through investigative play-based learning, balanced with explicit instruction. This contributes to the school’s focus on enhancing Learning Environments and to improving student engagement and outcomes in the early years of schooling.
