It is vital to foster every child’s academic, physical, social and emotional skills in all areas of the curriculum. At Beverford we offer a diverse Specialists programs for students in all grades, including Physical Education, Science, Digital technology, Indonesian, Art, Library and a STEM based Inquiry. These subjects allow students to identify passions, build on their existing skills and enjoy the engagement of a different learning area. 

Mathematics

Our numeracy program provides students with a strong grounding in mathematical skills, strategies and understandings. The aim is to support students in becoming numerate and use mathematics effectively so they can successfully participate at school, at home and in the wider community. Mathematics at Beverford is a positive, engaging and hands on experience, in which our students develop confidence and a sense of achievement from what they learn.
