Curriculum - English
In 2016, Balingup Primary School implemented a new whole school literacy strategy that enhances the academic results of each student. This effective and robust program addresses the key areas of literacy and gives your child an intensive individualised literacy instruction.
We make it our goal to find, understand and implement the latest in literacy research. All of our programming is differentiated and tailored to suit the needs of your child.
