Curriculum at Walloon
Our Curriculum…
Our school programs are designed with Preps through to Year 6 in mind – focusing on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the wider world. We teach the Australian Curriculum at WSS.
Approaches to Teaching: Curriculum is seen as 3 interrelated components …
The Written Curriculum – the identification of a framework of what's worth knowing. What do we want to learn? What are the foundations needed?
The Taught Curriculum – the theory and application of good classroom practice. How will we best learn?
The Assessed Curriculum – the theory and application of effective assessment. How will we know what we have learned?
Approaches to Learning: Approaches to learning refers to the range of skills, both subject related and transdisciplinary, that students acquire and apply. These include social skills, thinking skills, communication skills and self-management skills.
We teach and Assess the Australian Curriculum – English, Math, Science, The Arts, HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences), Languages and Health and Physical Education.
Personal, social, emotional and physical development are an inherent part of our daily programs. Part of this process includes students continually evolving and understanding our learner profile.
