| Chancellor's
Outcomes-Based Curriculum Framework
|
|
Chancellor’s
Curriculum Framework incorporates knowledge, skills and processes drawn
from all the Key Learning Areas. The Framework’s focus is on an active
investigation of our world. This is represented through five Curriculum
Organisers (Worlds) which scaffold the progression of learning from
Preschool to Year 7. The ‘Worlds’ act as ‘vertical chains’ upon
which a sequenced series of Units
of Excellence are ‘hooked’.
Each Unit of Excellence adds to the
development of the conceptual understandings of that ‘World’ as it
unfolds throughout the years of schooling. Chancellor’s curriculum
represents a sequence of carefully planned and balanced learning
experiences designed to meet the current and future needs of our students.

| Our integrated curriculum incorporates
knowledge, skills and processes drawn from the Key Learning Areas.
It provides students with meaningful learning experiences which are
driven by the school's five
focus areas of literacy, numeracy, thinking, relationships and
technology. |
The "Units of Excellence" are
developed by combining student learning outcomes with key questions
which assist our students to investigate through real life or life like
contexts. The units are collaboratively designed by teachers to be
developmental considering what students know and can do. Each unit
supports a balance of content and process with significant consideration
of individual learning needs. The units are constantly reviewed
and resourced using the most current publications and technologies.
Context Building KLAs
|
At the heart of our Curriculum
Framework is our belief that:
 Core Learning Outcomes from the Key
Learning Areas of English, Mathematics, The Arts, Languages Other Than
English and Technology should be implemented through Real
Life Investigative Contexts.
Real life investigative contexts
provide the platform (need, interest, significance) for learning from
these areas to take place.
These real life investigative contexts
are developed through the meaningful combination of Core Learning Outcomes
from the Key Learning Areas of Studies of Society and the Environment,
Science and Health and Physical Education. (Context
