Pittsworth State School is justifiably proud of our record of academic
achievement. Given the diversity of our student clientele and a range of
socio-economic backgrounds, these successes have been the result of a
coordinated and planned approach to curriculum delivery.
Our ongoing success has
been based on the following key tenets:
High expectations for
all groups of students.
Relentless approach to
achieving success.
Establishment and
promotion of a performance culture.
A belief by all staff
that student achievement can and will be improved through explicit
teaching and focused learning episodes.
An understanding that
teachers can make a difference and that all students can engage in higher
order learning.
A strong commitment by
all that literacy development is everybody’s business and is embedded in
the teaching of all key learning areas.
A solid understanding
and support for teacher professionalism.
The team approach is
pivotal to the successful development and delivery of the various quality
school programs. Our professional
development agenda at Pittsworth State School ensures that all staff have the
necessary skills to deliver quality programs within their classrooms.
Yearly subject overviews
are reviewed and developed each year through a process of careful consultation
between all class teachers for each year level. Each overview will include all
the key learning areas.
Specialist teachers have
also embedded their overviews into each year level's document.
