Croxton’s curriculum is organised into three main areas:
1. Laying the Foundations
In these years, the curriculum focuses on developing the fundamental knowledge, skills, and behaviours in literacy and numeracy and other areas, including physical and social capacities, that underpin all future learning.
Integrated curriculum activities that have an emphasis on the acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills form a major part of the curriculum.
2. Building Breadth and Depth
In these years, students’ progress beyond the foundations and their literacy and numeracy become more developed. An expanded curriculum program provides the basis for in-depth learning within all domains in the three learning strands.
Students will develop a range of independence skills that develop in them the capacity to manage their own lives, relate competently to others, and interact effectively with the world around them.
Each of the domains in the Discipline-based Learning Strand, The Arts, Literacy, Humanities, Numeracy and Science are addressed with emphasis being placed on physical, personal, and social learning.
3. The Victorian Pathways Certificate Foundation Level
In these years, students develop greater independence of mind and interests. They seek deeper connections between their learning and the world around them and explore how learning might be applied in that world.
Students experience learning in work and community settings as well as the classroom. They are beginning to develop preferred areas for their learning.
The curriculum focuses on developing pathways to post-school options. The Victorian Pathways Certificate is a two-year program delivered in Years 11 and 12. It consists of four strands:
- Literacy and Numeracy Strands
- Industry Specific Strand
- Work-related skills
- Personal Development
