At CVPS, students participate in 6 specialist programs, providing opportunities to explore new skills, develop creativity, and engage in hands-on learning experiences.
Science at CVPS is a fun and engaging learning experience. Led by our Science Specialist, Mrs Aitken, lessons combine theory with hands-on investigations, allowing students to explore, experiment, and develop strong science inquiry skills.
Year 6 students can also apply to join the Science Squad. These student leaders work alongside Mrs Aitken to support younger students in their science learning and participate in a range of exciting extracurricular science activities.
Music at CVPS is a vibrant part of school life. Students explore different musical styles while learning to create, perform, and respond to music. They develop skills in reading and writing music through traditional theory, solfège, and the Kodály Method, and learn to play by ear using instruments such as xylophones and hand or body percussion.
Selected students may join the school choir, performing at events including the ANZAC Day ceremony, Harmony Day celebrations, and the Performing Arts Evening. Towards the end of Year 4, students may also sit a music aptitude test for entry into the School of Instrumental Music (IMSS) program, learning brass, woodwind, or percussion instruments in Years 5 and 6.
Visual Arts at CVPS allows students to explore creativity and self-expression. Students in Years 1–6 work with a variety of media, including drawing, painting, textiles, printmaking, ceramics, and digital art, creating both 2D and 3D works.
Students engage in the full creative process, from viewing and analysing artworks to designing, producing, and reflecting on their own pieces.
Student artwork is displayed throughout the school, with collaborative pieces enhancing the school environment and celebrating creativity.
Physical Education at CVPS helps students develop confidence, coordination, and a lifelong enjoyment of being active. Through games, sports, and movement activities, students build fundamental movement skills, learn about body movement, and improve performance.
Students also engage in Digital Technologies, learning to use technology safely and responsibly while developing skills in coding, digital design, and computational thinking. These skills support learning across the curriculum and prepare students for the future.
Students have the opportunity to learn Auslan (Australian Sign Language) on selected days. These lessons help students develop communication skills, increase awareness of Deaf culture, and promote inclusive communication across the school community.
