Every student’s learning journey

Starting strong

Kindy to Year 2—Focusing on the foundational skills that set every child up for a positive learning journey.

Students who attend school regularly, are engaged in the classroom and progress in their learning are more likely to have positive outcomes through each phase of their schooling journey.

Experiences in the early years shape a child’s wellbeing at every stage of their life and set the foundations for a better future. Schools are uniquely placed to partner with families, local communities and early years services to wrap support around children and families to ensure every child has the best possible transitions into school.

Establishing positive attendance and engagement in the earliest years sets a child up to positively transition throughout the phases of learning.

Our goals for Kindy to Year 2 are:

• positive transitions into schooling
• teaching and learning that sets the foundational skills for learning success
• supporting every child by valuing their unique needs, strengths and interests to help them succeed
• a focus on literacy and numeracy
• achieving positive learning outcomes
• attending school and demonstrating positive learning habits and behaviour.

For every student in the early years of school, we will monitor:

• relative proportion of students achieving in English and mathematics
• C and above
• A or B
• days of learning.
  

Building on foundations

Years 3 to 6—Embedding foundational skills for lifelong learning and nurturing the confidence of every student to thrive.

Early learning experiences inspire students to become lifelong learners. Building on the foundational skills in middle and upper primary sets them up for learning success.

By consolidating strong foundations for lifelong learning and nurturing confidence of students to thrive in their future schooling years, we can ensure students have the knowledge, self-belief and resilience they need to succeed.

On track for success

Years 7 to 9—Responding to the changing needs of adolescent learners to support every student to stay on track.

Evidence tells us that maintaining engagement in learning in junior secondary is crucial to keeping students engaged and on track as they move into senior schooling and beyond.

Recognising and supporting the changing needs of adolescent learners is integral in supporting them to stay on track, both academically and personally.

Ready for the future

Years 10 to 12—Preparing every student for their future and supporting meaningful post school pathways.

Having high expectations, understanding student’s aspirations and supporting meaningful pathways for every student is key to achieving successful outcomes and a brighter future for every student.

We are preparing every student for life beyond school by supporting meaningful post-school pathways that align with each student’s strengths, interests and aspirations, whether that’s further education, training or employment.

Our goals for senior secondary are:

• access to a range of subjects and learning options to ready senior students for the future
• preparing student as active citizens of the world
• a plan to stay on track to attainment
• achieving positive learning outcomes
• positive transitions to meaningful post-school pathways.
