Curriculum
At Highgate School, students study the Australian Curriculum 9.0. Students in the French Bilingual Binational pathway follow a curriculum that is harmonised and integrates the French and Australian curriculums. Both pathways are delivered using through a trans-disciplinary, inquiry approach and have a strong focus on providing feedback to students to support their next learning steps and goals.
Several subjects are taught by specialist teachers – these vary slightly from year to year depending on site direction. More information on 2023 specialist areas can be found below.
Teachers use a range of formative and summative assessment strategies and incorporate high impact teaching strategies throughout their teaching & learning programs. This approach provides a balance of explicit, differentiated teaching and student-led inquiry learning.
Students also benefit from a range of extra- curricular clubs, competitions and action groups, which provide opportunities for curriculum enrichment and developing new interests.
