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
We focus on the skills your child needs to succeed in school and beyond. This helps them feel confident and prepared for the future.
High-quality education
We offer a range of subjects to match what students enjoy and want to learn about. Our skilled teachers support every student to find what they love, do their best and succeed.
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.
An opportunity exists as a part of the NSW public education system, which allows for time in class for education in ethics, faith and morality from a religious or non-religious perspective at the choice of parents, where approved providers are available to deliver these.
During the online enrolment process parents will be asked if they would like their child to participate in SRE. You can update your preference by writing to the school or through the online form. Students will only be allowed to participate in SRE with parental approval.
At Beverly Hills Girls High School, SRE is available on Mondays during 40 minute lesson periods. A timetable is provided to participating students.
On the occasions that an SRE teacher is unavailable students who have chosen to participate in SRE lessons combine with regular classes.
The following SRE classes are offered at Beverly Hills Girls High School:
Special Religious Education (SRE): Combined Christian SRE
Combined Christian SRE at BHGHS is provided by a combined agreement between local Christian denominations and churches. They cross–authorise the SRE curriculum and the SRE teacher. Mrs Julie Guyer is the current teacher – she is employed by local Christian churches to teach SRE at the school, and, like all NSW SRE teachers, is authorised and trained by an approved provider, the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. Mrs Guyer teaches an age appropriate, Department of Education approved, curriculum, which is based on the Good News about Jesus Christ and learning the key elements of Christian life and culture. Christian SRE engages students in conversations as they question life, explore values and discover faith.

At our school, we give the right support to help advanced or talented learners 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
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting learning goals with each student
- giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and school
- helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
