1. What curriculum will I find in Catholic schools?
Schools develop curriculum programs to meet student needs using the Archdiocesan Guidelines for Religious Education; current Queensland Studies Authority syllabuses and guidelines; and approved vocational and educational training courses associated with recognised learning pathways. Polices, guidelines and frameworks from Brisbane Catholic Education guide curriculum development, implementation, pedagogy, and assessment. View further information.
In addition, you may also wish to visit the Queensland Studies Authority website.
2. What is an outcomes based approach to education?
The focus is on what the students know and can do with what they know, rather than on what the teacher plans or intends to do. It is based on a belief that there are certain things all students should learn (called outcomes) and that these should be made clear to all concerned – teachers, students, parents, carers and others in the community.
3. What is the Brisbane Catholic Education Learning Framework?
The Brisbane Catholic Education Learning Framework is a conceptual framework for curriculum development within Brisbane Archdiocesan schools. Its purpose is to provide a starting point for classroom and school planning.
