Our distinctive curriculum offerings
The Curriculum is a mixture of National Curriculum discipline areas of Mathematics, English, Science, History and Geography combined with QLD’s Essential Learning Units of work for the other discipline areas. For students in years 3-7, our core curriculum of Literacy and Numeracy is delivered by specialist teachers. These subject areas are further enhanced with the use of online digital pedagogies. In terms 1 and 4 we offered a swimming program through our PE teacher and trained staff at the Pittsworth Swimming Pool. Across the school year all students are taught lessons that explicitly develop our school wide positive behaviour values of Care, Commitment, Courtesy, Courage and Consideration. These life values further develop positive relationships, self-esteem and lifelong skills.
The School’s fitness program, which has been running since 2005, continued in 2013 and aims to develop student fitness. The results are evident in cluster sport initiatives and the increase in the amount of Southbrook Central SS students who qualify to attend district and zone competitions. The school continued to run Active After School Communities in 2013. For three afternoons a week, activities are run for enrolled students from 3:30pm- 5:00pm and address a variety of active/sporting areas.
