Arts Programs - Peter Lawson
From Kindergarten we explore the fundamentals of Music, Dance and Drama. Students will examine beat and rhythm through songs, drumming and percussive instruments. Children are also encouraged to dance using expressive movement, discovering different practices and cultures from around the world.
Curiosity Room - Sarah Ebbage - Teacher Librarian
Our updated library is a dynamic and inclusive space that fosters a love for reading and enhances students' learning experiences. The Teacher Librarian role involves guiding students in exploring literature and resources that align with their interests and academic needs, building essential literacy and research skills, and integrating technology to support learning. Ms Ebbage collaborated closely with teachers to support programs, enriching classroom learning through access to engaging books as well as online tools and resources.
Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (‘STEAM’) - Kristy Nguyen
STEAM incorporates artistic skills like creative thinking, problem solving, investigating and design. There are so many questions about the world that I want to find the answers to, and by being a STEAM specialist, I am able to learn as I teach you. I look forward to doing many fun science projects with you and hope to inspire you to learn more about the world you live in.
Japanese - Sarah Kenny
Students from Year 3 to Year 6 participate in our specialist Japanese program each week. Our school participates in a Japanese continuity program with Campbell High, which caters for students who wish to continue with Japanese after Year 6. As well as weekly lessons, students also participate in a range of other activities such as an annual excursion to the Nihongo Tanken Sydney Language Centre for students in Years 5 and 6.
Instrumental Music Program
Campbell Primary School is a member of the ACT Instrumental Music Program (IMP). The Instrumental Music Program is organised by the ACT Department of Education and provides our school with a package of services designed to supplement the music education of up to 22 selected students in Years 5 and 6. At Campbell Primary we currently have a Year 5 and a Year 6 brass band. To enter the band program, students are assessed at the end of Year 4 for musical strengths (including ability to differentiate pitch, rhythm and their peripheral vision) and classroom work habits. Then early in the following year, placements are offered to 22 students. The IMP provides the school with a specialist band teacher for two sessions a week during class time and the loan of instruments for the duration of the program.
