The 8 Key Learning Areas (KLA’s) of mathematics, English, science, studies of society and the environment, visual arts and performing arts (music), technology, physical education and language other than English are currently taught in the primary section at Biggenden State School.
The school has redefined its curriculum offerings accordingly to meet the teaching and learning expectations of the Australian National Curriculum (ACARA).

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program
Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program operates each Friday. Students from years 3-6 are engaged and challenged through garden and cooking lessons. The aim of the program is pleasurable food education for young children.
Some of the principles underpinning the program include:
The best way to encourage children to choose food that is healthy is to engage them in fun, hands-on experiences in growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing such food at the earliest possible age.
Children are more likely to experiment with foods they have grown or prepared themselves.
Life-long eating habits develop early.
