At LRCS, we teach according to the requirements of the Early Years Framework, the Australian Curriculum and the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).
We ensure students have access to high-quality educational opportunities and work to provide equitable access to the curriculum. We are dedicated to making adjustments to our instruction and environment wherever necessary to ensure all students have a pathway to achieve success against the curriculum.
Our Kindy curriculum offers learning opportunities through play, harnessing a child's curiosity and creativity to help them learn about the world we live in.
Our Kindy operates during the school term on Tuesdays & Wednesdays
8:45am-3:15pm and every second Thursday (even weeks) 8:30am-12:45pm. We include Kindy students in whole school events wherever possible and often plan them on Kindy days so they don't miss out.
Our learning program is crafted using the Early Years Framework.
Foundation - Year 6
Our F-6 learning program is designed using the Australian Curriculum.
Our Primary curriculum offers learning opportunities in English, Mathematics, Science, HASS, HPE, Visual Art, Technologies, Performing Arts and Afrikaans.
Our Primary School learners (Year F-6) can expect 4-6 lessons with their main classroom teacher(s) and then 1-3 specialty lessons with expert subject teachers.
These specialised classes can include Art, Wood Technology, Afrikaans, Ag, Music, Performing Arts and even HASS - it depends on the availability of our experts and is locked in at the start of each semester.
Check with your child's teacher is you wish to learn more.

Our Secondary Curriculum provides opportunities for students to experience a range of subjects to ensure they have the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the world, as well as provide them with experience to make sound subject choices for their SACE.
Our Secondary School learners (Year 7-10) can expect 7 lessons with specialised experts in all their subjects.
Some of these lessons are doubles (90 mins) whilst others are singles (45 mins).

Students begin to tailor their learning with some subject selections from Year 9, dependent on student needs & interests as well as staffing availability.

SACE | Year 11 & 12
