Playford College aims to provide a broad, rigorous, engaging and challenging learning program for all students.
The curriculum is designed to cater for the whole child, providing opportunities for children’s spiritual, physical, mental, social and emotional growth. The Australian Curriculum shapes the Playford College curriculum in all major learning areas.
Sacred time is provided each day for children to learn and implement prayer. Students from Foundation to Year 2 have this devotional time in their classrooms while Years 3 to 6 meet daily in the Prayer Hall for corporate prayer run by members of the Illumination team. Our highly regarded Illumination staff provide education about faith, the Holy Quran, the Prophets and Ahlul Bayt, as well as their stories and how we can live our lives as the creation of Allah. They provide meaningful conversation and assist students with navigating their faith through school and into life as a member of the community.
Playford College has specialist Primary teachers for Physical Education, Quran Reading and Memorisation, Arabic and Islamic Studies lessons. Primary teachers plan together in teaching teams and collaborate with subjects across classes.
