Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.
Why choose us for your child’s learning?
Strong foundations
At Robert Townson Public School, we focus on building the essential skills your child needs to succeed at school and beyond. Our supportive learning environment helps every student feel confident, capable and ready for the future.
High-quality education
We offer a wide range of learning opportunities to match what students enjoy and are curious about. Our dedicated teachers support every child to discover their interests, do their best and achieve success.
Inclusive and personalised learning
Our teachers adjust how they teach to suit your child’s needs, interests and learning pace. We make sure every student feels confident and supported.
Extension opportunities
Some students are ready for more challenges. We offer open-ended tasks, enrichment programs and support. We help all students to reach their full potential.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
At our school, students can take part in special religious education (SRE) or special education in ethics (SEE) classes, depending on what’s available. These classes are delivered by approved providers.
When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.
You’re welcome to change your choice at any time. Just let us know in writing or use the online form (if available at our school).

At our school, we give the right support to help gifted learners to grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.

Our learning approach
At Robert Townson Public School, we use explicit teaching to support every student’s success. This means our teachers clearly explain what students are learning, why it’s important and how to do it step by step. By breaking learning into smaller parts, students can understand new concepts with confidence.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access for all learners. Our teachers use proven, evidence-based strategies and take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- Real-world learning: hands-on activities, group projects and opportunities to explore new ideas
- Technology: building digital skills and using tools that enhance learning
- Flexible teaching: tailored support for each student, with a strong focus on wellbeing
- Community connections: learning experiences through excursions and local programs
