Introduction
This guide describes the curriculum offered in Years 8 to 12 at Findon High School . Subject selection at the secondary level is critical in shaping the future for all students. Its influences may determine future pathways and links between school, further study and the world of work. The information has been prepared to assist students and parents in considering the range of course options available to students at Findon High School.
The curriculum at Findon High School is rigorously aligned with both state and national expectations for schools. In order to meet these expectations and support all students in the transition to Australian Curriculum, a number of specific programmes are being tailored to meet the particular needs of our school community and the expressed needs of students and parents. The Australian Curriculum will gradually replace the South Australian Curriculum, Standards and Accountability Framework as the mandated curriculum. The South Australian Teaching for Effective Learning Framework (TfEL) will support the implementation of the Australian Curriculum through a focus on pedagogy in the design of learning and teaching programs responsive to the needs of all learners.
Currently the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) continues to be the mandated curriculum in the senior years, but will gradually transition to align with the Australian Curriculum.
In keeping with the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (2008), we aim to promote and to lead world’s best practice for curriculum delivery and assessment and improve the educational outcomes for all students. We want our students to graduate with 21st Century skills in order to succeed in work and life.
