The NSW Curriculum is organised in stages for students in Years 1-6 - Stage 1 (Year 1 and 2), Stage 2 (Year 3 and 4) and Stage 3 (Year 5 and 6). Every class, whether year based, or stage based, has a range of students with varying abilities.Depending on enrolment numbers, we may group our students into Stage classes or single streams.
