Learning at All Saints'

​​​​​The Australian Curriculum

All phases of schooling at All Saints', Boonah are underpinned by Brisbane Catholic Education's Learning and Teaching Framework and The Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Declaration (2019). The Alice Springs (Mparntwe - pronounced as 'M- ban-tua') Education Declaration sets the national vision for education for all Australians and notes two goals: 

1. The Australian education system promotes excellence and equity. 

2. All young Australians become: 

· Confident and creative individuals 

· Successful lifelong learners 

· Active and informed members of the community 


The Australian Curriculum sets the goal for what all students should learn as they progress through their school life – wherever they live in Australia and whichever school they attend.

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. (including our Music Program)

  • Technologies.

  • Languages.​ (Japanese taught at All Saints')

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.​
