Teaching, learning and preparing our students for the 21st century is the core business at Coolangatta State School.
To ensure we maximise the learning of all students our curriculum draws on current frameworks, educational philosophies and change management models. Our pedagogical framework draws on research based practices to ensure that teachers are guided by quality teaching methods to improve student outcomes across.
The Queensland Department of Education and Training has developed a series of teaching plans and assessment items that provide Coolangatta State School teachers with detailed lesson plans, teaching strategies and resources that interpret the Australian curriculum. These unit plans are called curriculum to the classroom units (C2C).
The Australian curriculum website sets out the core knowledge, understanding, skills and general capabilities that are important for all Australian students. The following links provide the rationale and aims for each of the curriculum to the classroom (C2C) key learning areas.
