Why families choose us
A Strong Start
Our school places a strong focus on building solid literacy and numeracy skills so every student can access opportunities beyond school. We know that great teaching drives great learning, so we are thorough in applying the science of learning and supporting teachers to use an explicit teaching model. As a result, our school continues to improve its outcomes, reflecting the impact of consistent, evidence-based practice.
High Quality Teaching
Our school is committed to delivering high quality teaching through a carefully designed, school-wide curriculum taught using an explicit teaching approach. This ensures clarity, structure and consistency in every classroom. By implementing a shared core program and consistent teaching practices, we guarantee that all students receive high-quality instruction, regardless of individual teacher experience, supporting strong learning outcomes for every child.
Civics and Citizenship
Our school believes in building strong character from the very start. Through The Marsden Way Civics & Citizenship program, students are explicitly taught the values of work ethic, respect, good manners, courage and resilience. Alongside this, we deliberately develop students’ social and emotional intelligence, equipping them with the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to make positive, well-informed choices in life. Our programs and projects also foster kindness and responsibility towards animals and the environment, supporting the development of thoughtful, responsible and compassionate citizens.
Nurturing Talents and Personal Growth
Our school offers a rich range of extra-curricular opportunities designed to support the well-rounded development of every child. We have built a strong reputation for excellence in public speaking and debating, with students achieving outstanding success in recent years. Children can also engage in environmental and gardening programs, a high-potential dance group, choir, and specialised art classes for students demonstrating advanced artistic talent. In addition, we provide a wide variety of sporting opportunities, for students who excel in sport. Together, these programs nurture confidence, creativity, teamwork and leadership, helping students discover and develop their strengths beyond the classroom.
"We brag about this school to all our friends. This school curriculum and the teaching methods have demonstrated some awesome results. We cannot thank you guys enough. Because of Marsden Road our children have shown lots of interest in learning. To see that our kids wake up wanting to go to school says a lot about the school itself. Thank you!”

Tailored Learning Support
Our school’s pedagogy is designed to ensure every student is supported to succeed. Through purposeful differentiation, each classroom caters for the diverse learning needs of students, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics. Students who demonstrate high academic ability are extended through a differentiated curriculum that challenges and engages them to reach their full potential.
Students who require additional support benefit from a structured, three-tiered intervention approach. This support may occur within the classroom through targeted teaching, in small group tuition, or through individualised one-to-one intervention, depending on each child’s needs. Our effective learning support team works closely with teachers and engages specialist services, including speech and occupational therapists, to support screening, early identification and ongoing assistance for students.
