Junior secondary curriculum
We are lucky at Cloncurry State School P–12 because we are ahead of the agenda of having year 7’s in high school by 2015 as our years 7’s have been in our high school for many years. This means we already have well-established facilities and practices for Junior Secondary students.
Junior Secondary is made up of Years 7, 8, 9 and 10, with each year level having their own year level learning centre (classrooms). Their core studies which follow the new Australian Curriculum include:
- English
- Mathematics
