Our teachers use curriculum resources provided by the Department of Education as a foundation for planning and adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of their students.
Building Skills for the Future
Learning at Geebung extends beyond individual subject areas. Students are supported to develop important skills and capabilities that they can use throughout their schooling and everyday lives.
These include literacy, numeracy, critical and creative thinking, ethical understanding, personal and social capability and intercultural understanding.
These skills are developed across classroom learning, specialist programs and other opportunities throughout school life.
Learning About Our World
Across the curriculum, students are provided with opportunities to develop their knowledge and understanding of:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures
- Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia
- Sustainability
These priorities are incorporated into relevant learning areas and provide opportunities for students to explore different perspectives, cultures and their connection to the world around them.
Quality Teaching and Learning
Our teachers work collaboratively to plan, teach and assess learning and are committed to continually developing their professional practice.
Through professional learning, curriculum planning and assessment, our staff work to provide high-quality learning experiences that respond to the individual needs of students and support their ongoing progress.
