At Springfield Central State High School, we are committed to delivering a relevant, engaging, and future-focused curriculum that prepares students for success in an ever-evolving world. Our approach integrates the Australian Curriculum with our Springer Learning Approach, fostering a culture of academic excellence, personal growth, and lifelong learning.
The Springer Learning Approach
Our Springer Learning Approach is designed to provide students with rich, meaningful, and connected learning experiences that align with the Australian Curriculum. This approach focuses on:
Student-Centred Learning – Encouraging curiosity, collaboration, and independent thinking.
High Expectations for All – Supporting students to strive for excellence.
Real-World Application – Ensuring learning is relevant, practical, and linked to future pathways.
Inclusive & Differentiated Teaching – Catering to diverse learning needs and strengths.
Wellbeing & Engagement – Fostering resilience, relationships, and responsibility.
Curriculum in Years 7-9
The Australian Curriculum is structured around three key dimensions: Learning Areas, General Capabilities, and Cross-Curriculum Priorities, ensuring a well-rounded education for all students. At Springfield Central SHS, we align our curriculum with the following eight learning areas:
Additionally, we embed seven general capabilities that prepare students to become successful learners and active citizens:

We also incorporate cross-curriculum priorities that add depth and context to student learning:
