Glenore Grove State
School follows the Australian Curriculum and uses C2C (Curriculum to the
Classroom) as a resource to assisting the teaching of this curriculum. We teach both Multi-age and straight year level
units depending on the subject areas.
The Australian Curriculum
The Australian Curriculum describes what
young Australians should learn as they progress through schooling. It is the
foundation for their future learning, growth and active participation in the
Australian community. It sets out essential knowledge, understanding, skills
and capabilities and provides a national standard for student achievement in
core learning areas.
The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and
Reporting Authority (ACARA) has a rigorous and robust curriculum development
process to produce a high-quality national curriculum. ACARA draws on the best
national talent and expertise to draft the curriculum and considers thousands
of opinions from teachers, academics and parents to business, industry and
community groups – to make improvements along the way.
The council of federal, state and territory
education ministers is responsible for endorsing the Australian Curriculum.
State and territory education authorities are responsible for implementation of
the Australian Curriculum and for supporting schools and teachers.
The effectiveness of the Australian
Curriculum is monitored to inform revision and further development.
Overall, the curriculum program caters to a
diverse range of students and focuses on a number of core general capabilities.
These include literacy, numeracy, the use of Information and Communication
Technologies, problem solving and creative and critical thinking.
Across the curriculum there is a focus on
the priorities relevant to contemporary students including Australia’s
engagement with Asia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and
sustainability. These priorities are supported by the general classroom
curriculum, special programs and events and the enrichment programs operating
throughout the school.
