CURRICULUM

SCHOOL CURRICULUM

The curriculum at Smith's Hill High School has been developed to allow students to choose a course of study which will cater for their individual needs and abilities while providing a broad, sound and balanced education.

The development of the curriculum model was based upon the desire to allow students to progress at their own rate through a course of study rather than being locked into a specific year group throughout their secondary education. Some of the advantages of this approach are -

It involves students in the CHOICE of their individual courses and makes them RESPONSIBLE for their own learning.

It allows students to work at their own rate, level of ability and maturity and allows for ACCELERATION,
ENRICHMENT and CONSOLIDATION.

It allows students to choose courses appropriate to their needs, interests and abilities.
It actively involve PARENTS, STUDENTS and TEACHERS in the selection process.
