​At North Shore State School, we aspire to build an inclusive and supportive learning environment in which students develop, learn and achieve the necessary skills and knowledge to positively and effectively contribute to the world in which they live.  At North Shore all students are challenged and encouraged to reach their academic potential at a rate suited to their ability. We believe it is our responsibility to ensure that every student can demonstrate the achievement standards enacted through the skills of the general capabilities and understanding of the cross- curriculum priorities.

At North Shore students are taught and assessed against the Australian Curriculum through the use of C2C resources.

The Australian Curriculum learning areas across Prep-Year 6: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS), Technologies – Design and Digital, The Arts – Music, Media, dance, drama and Visual Arts, Health and Physical Education (HPE) and a Japanese Language program (LOTE) for Years 5 and 6.

The Australian Curriculum

Aim:

The Australian Curriculum is designed to help all young Australians to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens. Presented as a developmental sequence of learning from Foundation - Year 10, the Australian Curriculum describes to teachers, parents, students and others in the wider community what is to be taught and the quality of learning expected of young people as they progress through school.

The three-dimensional design of the Foundation – Year 10 Australian Curriculum recognises the importance of disciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding alongside general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities.

Disciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding are described in the eight learning areas of the Australian Curriculum: English, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, The Arts, Technologies and Languages. The latter four learning areas have been written to include multiple subjects, reflecting custom and practice in the discipline. In each learning area or subject, content descriptions specify what young people will learn, and achievement standards describe the depth of understanding and the sophistication of knowledge and skill expected of students at the end of each year level or band of years.
