Our Vision/Purpose:

Currimundi State School’s vision, ‘Riding the Waves to Success’, tells all students that they can have success with practice and effort. We need to be confident to have a go and accept that we will fall off from time to time. Our

teachers build the necessary knowledge and skills in all students to ensure that they develop confidence and competence to ride those waves to success.

Our school is a place where every day, in every classroom, every child strives to achieve their personal best. We aspire to provide a rich learning environment that is innovative, supportive and progressive and one that meets

the high expectations of the school and the wider community for optimal student learning. We believe wellbeing of our young people is central to their success as confident lifelong learners.

School-based priorities

Our top priorities for 2019 are:

• Teacher Teams to power school-wide improvement: Continue development of Teacher Teams (with co-pilot support) to power school-wide improvement - based on the current Hattie #1 Visible Learning Strategy of Collective Teacher Efficacy.

Key foci for Teacher Teams: To align classroom teaching to the AC through direct line of sight from achievement standards to learning goals and success criteria (including Personal and Social General Capability and Critical and Creative Thinking).

• Reading: Lift student’s literacy skills and motivation to read

• Learning and Thriving (including 21st Century Skills) Increase student and staff wellbeing

• STEM (including 21st Century Skills) Upskill teachers to prepare students for 21st century

These will involve collegial visits to build capacity and skills of all teachers in such practices

Intended Curriculum:

Currimundi State School is focused on providing quality teaching and learning experiences that allow our students to experience, engage and attain the standards described by

The Australian Curriculum.

At Currimundi State School, we plan, teach, assess and report on the Australian Curriculum Prep to Year 6. http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au

• Mathematics

• Science

• Humanities and Social Science (HASS)

• Health and Physical Education (HPE)

• The Arts (Music, Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Visual Arts)

• Technology (Digital Technology & Design Technology)

• Languages Other Than English (LOTE) – Italian (Years 5 & 6)

A number of specialist teachers provide lessons in the areas of:

• Physical Education

• Music

• Digital Technology

• Languages Other Than English (Italian)

The leadership team acknowledges the need to continually build teacher knowledge and understanding of the AC and develop their capability to construct and adapt curriculum units and assessment tasks across all learning areas that closely align

to the achievement standards and content descriptions of the AC.

Opportunities for teachers to meet in their cohort ‘Teacher Teams’ has been factored into the staff meeting agenda, giving them the opportunity to discuss matters relating to curriculum, teaching and learning. These meetings provide

opportunities for teachers to engage in in-depth professional conversations leading to improved curriculum delivery, data analysis and more consistent teaching practices. These scheduled opportunities for professional collaboration are supporting

capability development and are developing processes for improving student outcomes.

Our expert teaching teams engage in a planning process every term with the Head of Curriculum, to develop a shared understanding of the alignment between the curriculum intent, assessment, teaching and learning sequence, and reporting.

Curriculum Overview Curriculum, Reporting and Assessment Plan, in alignment with the P-12 Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework, (P-12 CARF), consists of the following aspects to achieve the goals of improved student outcomes:

• School Curriculum Plan o Provision of whole curriculum, moderation processes and assessment o Year and/or band plans and related summative assessment o Unit Plans with opportunities for moderation at multiple junctures o

• School Assessment Schedule o Formative Assessment o Summative Assessment o Moderation o

• School Reporting Plan

Currimundi State School uses the three levels of planning to:

• align (vertically and horizontally) curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and reporting of the Australian Curriculum; • monitor progress towards school improvement priorities; • quality assure the curriculum provision for all students; • ensure resource allocation supports the stated vision and priorities; and • share the school’s plan for curriculum delivery with parents/carers and the wider school community.

Effective systematic curriculum delivery at Currimundi involves school leaders and teachers using whole school moderation processes to align curriculum pedagogy, assessment and reporting; and to ensure consistency of teacher judgements and accuracy of reported results against the Australian Curriculum (AC) achievement standards. Our teachers align the teaching, assessing and reporting of the Australian Curriculum using Curriculum into the Classroom (C2C) materials as a resource.

Sequencing Teaching and Learning

Our Whole School Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Plan ensures a cohesive progression and sequence of learning. Our students are exposed to a wide variety of learning opportunities through each of the learning areas across all year levels.

We also provide many opportunities for students to be involved in a range of additional curriculum offerings to ignite their spark.

Our signature, research evidenced instruction is guided by High Impact Teaching, which involves teachers employing the gradual release of responsibility when explicitly teaching core knowledge, understanding and skills. The key selection and

balanced use of effective teaching strategies provides students with the opportunity to learn in diverse ways.

All Currimundi’s decisions about the provision of the curriculum have been recorded in OneSchool, Primary reporting plan, at the beginning of each academic year.

Currimundi State School explicitly teaches, assesses and reports on the Australian Curriculum Learning Areas of English, Maths, Science, History, Health, Digital Technologies, Visual Arts, Music, Physical Education & LOTE – Italian through the

Curriculum into the Classroom (C2C) resources. Every year level has a Year Level Overview, which includes Term Assessment Overviews along with C2C Year Level Plans to explicitly show what is being taught, assessed and reported on for that year

available to them on our SharePoint that can be accessed from home as well as from school. https://qedu.sharepoint.com/sites/1868/

Currimundi State School adopts and adapts all C2C assessment tasks. Staff have the flexibility to adjust the lesson plans, build in appropriate revision and extension time to assist with the range of student needs and adjust weekly hours to factor in

blocks of teaching, special events, such as carnivals, excursions and public holidays.

Currimundi State School is moving towards creating contextualised, sequential integrated units of work to engage students.

Any cohorts who choose to make changes (eg: merge units, remove assessment tasks, rearrange the order of assessment tasks etc) must negotiate with the Head of Curriculum (HOC) to ensure all of the Achievement Standard is being assessed, all

of the content descriptions are being taught and it is in the best interest of the students and student results.

Modifying C2C Units of work

Whole School Planning and Sequence of units. The C2C Year Level Plan provides the CSS sequence of intended learning across all year levels, in each learning area. Year level plans include the scope, sequence and organisation of curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment for each year level. Year level plans inform classroom planning. Levels of Planning

Assessment and Monitoring At Currimundi State School, we believe that it is important to gather student achievement data on a regular basis. Such data helps inform the teaching and learning cycle. We also believe that it is important to set aspirational targets for our students

based on this data. Our teachers use a variety of standardised, diagnostic, formative, monitoring and summative assessments to diagnose learning needs, determine achievement and inform teaching. Assessment is consistent across year levels

and is front-ended at planning sessions before beginning a unit of work. Students are assessed throughout and at the end of a unit of work to determine their overall understanding. Students in Years 3 and 5 participate in NAPLAN (National

Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy). Currimundi Data Collection Points and Targets

Specific school-wide practices and tools are used to conduct assessment for, as, and of learning (see below). The use of these is essential to understanding the needs of each learner and for the provision of meaningful and targeted feedback and intervention. This not only includes the use of summative and formative assessment within units of work but the application of a school-wide diagnostic assessment schedule.

Throughout units of work, assessment is ongoing and embedded and students are provided with multiple opportunities to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and understanding. This includes assessment for, as and of learning (diagnostic, formative and summative assessment) as recorded in the Currimundi State School Whole School Curriculum and Assessment Overview. All summative assessment tasks are aligned with the relevant Australian Curriculum achievement standards for each curriculum area. Barriers are minimised through the use and recording of reasonable adjustments to Assessment. Judgements around student achievement in all curriculum areas are made using school-based unit criteria sheets. Student work is collected at specified junctures to allow teachers to make an informed and on-balance judgement on student’s level of achievement. Student folios of work are moderated regularly to ensure consistency in judgement across cohorts, as well as the Caloundra Coalition of State Schools.

At Currimundi State School, high priority is given to the

school-wide analysis and discussion of systematically

collected data on student outcomes, including

academic, attendance and behavioural outcomes and

student wellbeing. Data analyses consider overall

school performance as well as the performances of

students from identified priority groups; evidence of

improvement / regression over time; performances in

comparison with similar schools; and in the case of data

from standardised tests, measures of growth across the

years of school.

Making Judgements - Moderation Currimundi State School students are graded against the Achievement Standards within the Australian Curriculum.

Our teachers work in year level teams, engaging in professional conversations, to analyse student evidence of learning to ensure consistency of judgements against the Australian Curriculum Year Level Achievement Standard. Consistent teaching and learning practices are

defined through our Pedagogical Framework. We prioritise teacher professional development to ensure best practice and improved outcomes for all students. Student assessment pieces are moderated across year levels and across a cluster of schools to ensure consistency of

assessment and judgements. In 2019 the focus will be on moderating folios of work.

At Currimundi State School, all assessment is moderated to ensure that teachers’ judgements of standards achieved by students are comparable within and between schools.

Pre Moderation – Teachers engage in Pre Moderation during planning days each term to gain consensus around tasks, conditions and expectations.

1. What is being assessed?

2. How does the task align to the curriculum (Achievement Standards / Content Descriptions)?

3. What does an A, B, C look like? (GTMJ)

4. How are we differentiating for students to enable them to meet expectations?

5. Where do the general capabilities fit?

Post Moderation – Teachers engage in post moderation to ensure that teachers’ judgements of standards achieved by students are comparable within and across schools.

1. To review, sort and compare relevant evidence from student work

2. To make judgments based on agreed criteria and come to a consensus about each sample i.e. make judgments that are comparable and reliable

3. To be a ‘critical friend’ to colleagues in a supportive manner

4. To assist in developing future assessment tasks and criteria sheets aligned to curriculum expectations

To ensure that reported judgments of student achievement are defensible and comparable they must be based on sound evidence and a shared understanding of the desired standards demonstrated in student work.

MODERATION TIMELINE Terms 1 & 3 – Week 9-10 Terms 2 & 4 – Week 7-8 Coalition Moderation occurs twice a year where teachers engage in moderation activities with cluster schools, to ensure consistency of judgements across schools.

Reporting Student Achievement The purpose of reporting is to provide parents and carers with information about where students are up to in their learning, what progress they have made over time and what they might do to support their children’s further learning.

At Currimundi State School, student achievement in the aspects of an achievement standard that have been taught and assessed during the reporting period. This on-balance judgement is based on the evidence of student performance in their assessment folio.

At the end of the semester in which the achievement standard is completed, the teacher makes an on-balance judgement about the student’s overall level of achievement for the achievement standard. This judgement is based on the evidence of student performance in the

assessment folio. It takes into consideration the most recent evidence. Written report cards are issued twice yearly, using a five-point scale to report student achievement. Parent teacher interviews are offered twice yearly. A range and balance of assessment tasks are used

to demonstrate student learning and inform end of semester reporting.

Reporting on student learning reflects the content, skills and application of knowledge of what has been taught and assessed in class.

Our reporting comments reflect the achievement standards of the Australian Curriculum: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanity and Social Science, Technology, LOTE, HPE and The ARTS.

Reporting for diverse students

Students who receive highly focused and intensive teaching on a particular aspect of a learning area/subject are still assessed and reported against their year-level achievement standard for that learning area/subject.

Students provided a different year-level curriculum than their age cohort for an entire learning area/subject are assessed and reported against the achievement standards for the year-level curriculum they are taught.

Reporting for these students taught and assessed at a different year level than their age cohort uses the five-point scale specified for their age rather than the scale related to the year level of the curriculum they have been taught. Students on a highly individualised

curriculum are assessed and reported against the learning expectation identified in their Individual Curriculum Plan..

Students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D) in their first 12 months of Australian schooling can be exempt from 5-point-scale reporting if necessary. For these students, reports contain a written statement about the student’s:

• English language proficiency against the Bandscales State Schools (Queensland)

• Achievement in the learning areas/subjects of the curriculum if appropriate.

Reporting is based on evidence and reflect

• Judgments about the quality of student learning, based on evidence collected during the reporting period

• The student’s most consistent level of achievement with consideration to more recent evidence.

The evidence of each student’s achievement is collected using a range of assessments aligned to the curriculum. This assessment folio provides the basis for reporting judgments about the student’s overall level of achievement in the learning area/subject.

PLANNING - ‘Every Student Succeeding’…Our whole school approach to Differentiation

Currimundi State School provides an inclusive, caring and rigorous learning environment that engages our students and challenges them to grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically and creatively to their full potential. Students are

encouraged to develop a social conscience, which enables them to contribute to their family, school and the wider community.

All staff have a mindset that ‘every student has strengths’ and we are key people to draw these out and support them. We believe that young people have fires within waiting to be lit! We acknowledge that students develop at differing rates and

that we need to make adjustments. Currimundi’s data collection is driven by the knowledge that for schools to foster successful learners a key enabler of this is to “Know your learners”. There are many paths that enable this understanding, for

example attendance history, family context and academic ability & understanding as well as unit based assessment. Targeted Data collection and analysis both informs and enables us to not only know our students but also to meet their learning

needs.

Differentiated learning for all students – It is our goal that every student experiences success, is challenged and extended, in every lesson, every day.

Through differentiated planning and programming, teachers can consider students’ varying abilities, learning styles, interests and needs.

Objectives for our school in providing for the learning needs of students who have high intellectual potential

Ensuring all staff members are aware of the characteristics of giftedness and the specific learning needs of gifted students.

Actively identifying students who are gifted regardless of their ethnicity, location, (dis)ability, gender or economic status.

Improving their learning outcomes through innovative curriculum delivery.

Fostering collaborative partnerships between home and school.

When curriculum is differentiated, the level of expectation is altered in respect of content, process, product and learning environment - based on an assessment of student readiness, interest and learning profile - in an effort to meet the learning

needs of all students within the class.

Our school places a high priority on ensuring that, in their day to day teaching, classroom teachers identify and address the learning needs of individual students, including high achieving students. Teachers are encouraged and supported to monitor

closely the progress of individuals, identify learning difficulties and tailor classroom activities to levels of readiness and need.

It encompasses a blend of whole-class, group and individual instruction and challenges teachers to draw on their best knowledge of the teaching and learning process to provide appropriate challenge to learners at their differing levels of

development.

Currimundi State School facilitates collaborative planning sessions each term. In planning time, prior units of work are reviewed and discussed using the Inquiry Cycle model that enables teachers to review and reflect on the learning and consider the next steps required to improve teaching and learning. Planning discussions involve looking at whole cohort and whole class data sets as well as teaching practice to inform teaching and learning.

A Whole School Approach to Support Student Learning caters for the learning needs of all students. Currimundi responds to the diverse learning needs of their students by identifying differentiated teaching and learning in all three levels of planning. This ensures that every student is supported to access and participate in the curriculum leading to continuous improvement in student achievement. Particular learning needs for individual students are identified through fortnightly special needs meetings as well as the process for ICPs and ISPs.

At Currimundi State School aim to provide differentiated teaching in the classrooms as well as small group and individual support based on student need.

Documentation

Currimundi’s Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Plan is updated annually to reflect the current direction of our school priorities, curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and reporting.

The documentation supporting Currimundi’s Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting plan is electronically available and accessible for all staff. Additional documents, including Pedagogical Framework, Student Learning and Wellbeing Framework, Parent and Community Engagement Framework and other policy statements aligned with the P-12 CARF, can also be located on the school’s SharePoint, which is accessible on all school devices and is a constantly growing and widely used resource that is widely accessed by all teachers both on and off site. https://qedu.sharepoint.com/sites/1868

Currimundi students are provided with the opportunity to engage in appropriate water safety and learn to swim programs.

Portfolio / Assessment Retention

Each portfolio demonstrates student learning in relation to the achievement standard.

The portfolios comprise authentic samples of student work and may contain errors such as spelling mistakes and other inaccuracies. Opinions expressed in student work are those of the student. The portfolios have been selected, annotated and reviewed by classroom teachers and other curriculum experts.

Teachers create student assessment folios that collect evidence of student achievement, specifically summative assessment that provides evidence of student learning against the relevant achievement standard for each learning area and/or subject for reporting purposes. The folio correlates to the year and/or band plans for each learning area and/or subject. Assessment folio contain a: • summative assessment task for each unit • student response to each summative assessment task • related marking guide for each summative assessment task with: – annotations about evidence in the student response that demonstrate aspects of the achievement standard being assessed for each assessable element – on-balance teacher judgments about student performance for each assessable element – an overall level of achievement for reporting purposes at the end of each semester.

Portfoliios are retained for 1 year after reporting on at either year level or band level.

Homework Policy

Homework helps students by complementing and reinforcing classroom learning, fostering good lifelong learning and study habits, and providing an opportunity for students to be responsible for their own learning.

Homework is an opportunity for parents to participate in their child’s education. Parents, in partnership with the school, should encourage children to establish good homework patterns from early primary school.

Students benefit from completing homework regularly. Homework helps them develop organisational and time-management skills, self-discipline, skills in using out-of-school resources and personal responsibility for learning. We also have a Home Reading Program that starts in the Prep year.

Responsibilities of Students: • Set aside a time each day when homework can be done. • Complete homework to a satisfactory standard. • Do your best and discuss any difficulties with your teacher. • Return completed homework by the set return date. • Responsibilities of Parents / Carers • Ensure that each child sets aside some time each day to do homework. • Supervise homework and assist when necessary. • Provide an appropriate place where children can do homework. • Check whether homework has been completed and sign children’s tasks where appropriate. • Let your child’s teacher know if there is a genuine reason that homework was not completed. • Discuss the situation with your child’s teacher if your child is having difficulty completing

homework without large amounts of parental input. Responsibilities of Teachers

• Ensure students and parents / caregivers are aware of the school’s homework policy and the classroom homework expectations.

• Set varied and meaningful tasks related to class work and tasks that are appropriate to students’ learning needs.

• Provide appropriate feedback in regards to homework completion. • Help students develop the organisational and time management skills needed for them to be

responsible for their learning. • Communicate with parents / caregivers any problems concerning their children’s homework.

They recall one or two events from texts with familiar topics. They understand that there are different types of texts and that these can have similar characteristics. They identify connections between texts and their personal experience. They read short, predictable texts with familiar vocabulary and supportive images, drawing on their developing knowledge of concepts about print and sound and letters. They identify the letters of the English alphabet and use the sounds represented by most letters. They listen to and use appropriate language features to respond to others in a familiar environment. They listen for rhyme, letter patterns and sounds in words. Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating) Students understand that their texts can reflect their own experiences. They identify and describe likes and dislikes about familiar texts, objects, characters and events. In informal group and whole class settings, students communicate clearly. They retell events and experiences with peers and known adults. They identify and use rhyme, letter patterns and sounds in words. When writing, students use familiar words and phrases and images to convey ideas. Their writing shows evidence of sound and letter knowledge, beginning writing behaviours and experimentation with capital letters and full stops. They correctly form known upper- and lower-case letters. Year 1 Achievement Standard
