Learning

At Marsden Road Public School (MRPS), we teach the NSW curriculum and offer a wide range of learning experiences to support every student’s growth. We know that strong literacy and numeracy skills are essential for success at school and in everyday life. Our teachers use effective, evidence-based teaching strategies to help each student achieve their very best.

Marsden Road Public School prides itself on delivering a knowledge rich curriculum and pedagogies that have a sound research base. We understand the important role of teachers knowing their content and how to deliver it. We make learning visible. Students know what they are learning, why they are learning it and what being successful looks like. This in turn ensures that students receive the best possible teaching and learning.
