School Curriculum
 
 

The curriculum at Glenview State School reflects the Queensland Assessment and Reporting Framework which is now the basis of curriculum, assessment and reporting for Years 1-9 in all Queensland schools. The framework supports Queensland schools to focus on:

  
Improving student learning
  
Supporting consistency of teacher judgements
  
Providing comparability of student achievement
The Glenview curriculum is designed to prepare our students for the future. It deals with new student identities, new economies and workplaces, new technologies, diverse communities and complex cultures.

Our curriculum is about improving the learning outcomes of our students. It allows community members, teachers and students to work together to ensure that the richness and relevance of students' academic and social growth is enhanced.
