The curriculum represents what students are taught. This is informed by the Australian Curriculum and syllabi set out by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, which outlines the core knowledge, understanding, skills and general capabilities essential for students.
The curriculum describes what young people should learn as they progress through schooling and forms the foundation for high-quality teaching to meet the needs of students. We recognise the vital role in children's brain development of play-based problem-solving with other children and the roles of adults in inquiry-based learning: supporting, scaffolding, facilitating and monitoring learning.
At Sacred Heart, we extend to all our students opportunities to develop these general capabilities through all nine Key Learning Areas.
The Key Learning Areas at Sacred Heart are:
- Religion
- English
- Maths
- Science
- Humanities and Social Sciences
- The Arts (Music, Visual Arts, Dance, Drama, Media)
- Health and Physical Education
- Technology (Digital and Design)
- Languages Other Than English (Japanese)
Sacred Heart strives to recognise and celebrate each individual's successes and development by including and integrating Social and Emotional Learning.
Whole School Curriculum Plan
At Sacred Heart Sandgate, our Whole School Curriculum Plan provides a clear and consistent framework for how curriculum is planned, taught, assessed and reported across all year levels.
The overview also ensures that our curriculum practices meet government requirements and align with Brisbane Catholic Education expectations, the Australian Curriculum, the Religion Curriculum P–12, and the Curriculum Compass for Planning, Teaching, Assessing and Reporting.
