Rationale

The Queensland School Curriculum is designed to assist students to become lifelong learners. The overall learning outcomes of the curriculum contain elements common to all key learning areas and collectively describe the valued attributes of a lifelong learner.

A lifelong learner is:

A knowledgeable person with deep understanding
A complex thinker
A creative person
An active investigator
An effective communicator
A participant in an interdependent world
a reflective and self-directed learner. 

This school curriculum plan is designed to meet the needs of isolated rural communities serviced by multi-age schools (1-3 teachers) with teaching principals. The curriculum is also delivered by visiting teachers  through face to face contact and information and communication technologies. 

Our school communities place a high value on all forms of student learning. Students have very similar cultural backgrounds. Most students will attend boarding school for secondary school due to geographic isolation. Therefore it is important to promote  student's holistic development.

Organisation

The  Curriculum Plan details:

how the core learning outcomes of the curriculum are organised across all year levels;
the range of teaching strategies  including specific learner needs with our isolated rural context
principles underlying the range of assessment devices used; and how assessment evidence informs teaching, learning, and reporting.

Management and Review

The school curriculum plan will reflect the dynamic nature of curriculum that  maintains  relevance in a world characterised by ongoing change.

An online form of the plan will be maintained for easy access and updating
It will be reviewed as needed as schools implement new QSA syllabi
Formal review processes may take place as part of the triennial school review
