Years 7 to 9
Glenmore State High School offers a curriculum representing a sequence of carefully planned and balanced learning experiences designed to meet the current and future needs of our students. It is grounded in student focused educational philosophy and practice, responsive to individual student needs, as well as being rich in real-life significance.
Literacy
Literacy is at the heart of all learning at Glenmore State High School. Literacy develops via a sequence of speaking, reading and writing modes and mastery is achieved over time. At Glenmore, the explicit teaching of reading, writing, speaking and listening across the Key Learning Areas is undertaken from years 7 to 12 and is designed to enable students to adjust and modify their performance to better meet the demands of the 21st century. To become literate members of information societies, students are taught to deal critically with a range of texts as they learn to cope with a virtually infinite range of spoken, written and electronic texts on a daily basis.
From years 7 to 12, Glenmore State High School teachers provide learning experiences that use texts of traditional and new communications technologies to ensure our students develop the capacity to engage in a range of technologies, techniques, possibilities, problems and contexts.
Numeracy
At Glenmore State High School, numeracy learning is focused in real world contexts whilst ensuring basic mathematical concepts are addressed. To this end, ours is a program of spiralling skill development.
The ultimate aim of our approach to numeracy is to embed within students a competent set of numeracy skills whilst encouraging them to think numerically within a range of deep and challenging contexts.
