At Robertson State School, the Australian Curriculum shapes teaching and learning. It is designed to help our students become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens.
In the early years, we place a strong emphasis on establishing a solid foundation for early literacy and numeracy development, setting the stage for their educational journey. As students progress through the middle and upper primary years, they continue to build on the literacy and numeracy skills established in the early years, essential for success across all areas of the curriculum.
The Australian Curriculum has a three-dimensional design that recognises the importance of the traditional learning areas including each of their disciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding alongside general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities. The Subjects and Learning Areas provided include English, Mathematics, Science, HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences), HPE (Health and Physical Education), Technologies (Design and Digital), The Arts (Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts), and Languages (Chinese). Students are taught, assessed and reported on in these subjects/learning areas in accordance with Department of Education Policy, and their outcomes are measured against the achievement standard at each juncture (year or band, depending on the subject).
At a school level, we plan to deliver a curriculum that ensures all students have opportunities to engage in meaningful learning. Moreover, Robertson State School offers a unique pathway for students to complete their primary school education through the Chinese Bilingual program, spanning from Year 1 to Year 6. The Robertson State School Chinese Bilingual Program implements the Australian Curriculum through Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) for selected classes from Year 1 – Year 6. This innovative program leverages evidence-based bilingual teaching and learning practices to enhance student engagement and academic outcomes.
