At Minden, the curriculum
content delivered by teachers has been determined by the Australian Curriculum.
The Australian Curriculum is designed to teach students to be confident, creative individuals and active and informed
citizens. It sets the goal for what all students should learn as they progress
through their school life.
Students develop knowledge and skills in
eight learning areas:
In the early years,
priority is given to literacy and numeracy development as the foundations for
further learning. As students make their way through the primary years, they
focus more on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all eight learning
areas.
Each year level aims to
have all children meet the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards by the
end of the school year. See the Australian Curriculum website for further detail.
