Hampden
State School offers a vibrant and rich curriculum. Our curriculum ensures
students are engaged with the demands of the Australian Curriculum. We strive to offer a variety of
extra-curricular activities which support the school’s vision for education at Hampden
State School.
The five
dimensions of teaching and learning form the basis of Hampden State School
teachers’ professional practice. At its centre are students. Each dimension
links to and supports the others. No one dimension exists in isolation. The
dimensions are; curriculum intent, assessment, sequencing teaching and learning,
making judgements and feedback.
There is no
fixed starting point – teachers begin by considering the Australian Curriculum
while taking into account what students already know and the best teaching
strategies to support learning. Teaching involves selecting the curriculum for students, developing
appropriate methods of delivery, designing assessment tasks and evaluating
students’ understanding of what they have learned. Critical to the process is
consistent and on-going feedback to ensure students are aware of their learning
goals.
