Catholic Schools NSW has launched ‘Phase Two’ of the Early Years Foundations for Learning digital resource. The resources have been produced to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families with young children. 

A Focus on Family Engagement in Learning

The Early Years Foundations for Learning resource focuses on the essential partnership between school and home in children’s learning and development. The project responds to more than 50 years of research and practice which tells us that families play a critical role in the development of children’s literacy and numeracy skills in the early years; laying the foundations upon which children develop as happy, successful and confident learners.

Early years consultants and teachers across Catholic schools and early learning centres collaborated with Catholic Schools NSW to develop the resources that are linked to the new K-2 English and Mathematics syllabuses. Catholic Schools NSW particularly thank the staff, students and families of St Ignatius’ Parish School Bourke and St Patrick’s Primary School Brewarrina for their collaboration. 

The digital resource is linked to the new K-2 English and Mathematics syllabuses and covers the following topics:
