At Labrador State School we plan, teach, assess and report to parents on the Australian Curriculum. The image above shows our school's Provision of Whole School Curriculum document, which maps out what learning areas are taught, assessed and reported on, satisfying the requirements of the Australian Curriculum, and how the timing of these consider vertical alignment of curriculum throughout a child's journey through our school. The Australian Curriculum learning areas are:
- English
- Mathematics
- Science
- Humanities and Social Sciences
- Health and Physical Education
- The Arts – Music, Dance, Drama, Media Arts and Visual Arts
- Technologies – Design Technologies and Digital Technologies
- Languages – Chinese at Labrador SS
We utilise the Curriculum Gateway v9 and Curriculum into the Classroom (C2C) as a framework for delivery of the Australian Curriculum, adapting this resource to fit the unique needs of our school and its students, to ensure all areas of the curriculum are taught and all elements of the achievement standard are assessed. Assessment of students is moderated before, during and after the cycle of teaching and learning to ensure consistency of judgements by teachers against the relevant achievement standard.
From 2025, Queensland schools will implement the revised Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 in a staged approach, with full implementation completed during 2027.
We utilise quality diagnostic data collection systems to analyse and plan to the specific learning needs of our students.
