WHAT DOes the course entail?
Growth and development course aims to holistically support the Year 9 cohort in developing key skills across literacy, numeracy, and broader areas of personal growth.
We will grow our understanding of careers and financial literacies, develop our literacy and numeracy skills and apply these in different digital contexts.
The course is underpinned by the general capabilities which encompass the knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions that will assist students to live and work successfully in the twenty-first century.
The Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration identifies essential skills for twenty-first century learners – in literacy, numeracy, information and communication technology (ICT), thinking, creativity, teamwork and communication. It describes individuals who can manage their own wellbeing, relate well to others, make informed decisions about their lives, become citizens who behave with ethical integrity, relate to and communicate across cultures, work for the common good and act with responsibility at local, regional and global levels.
There are seven general capabilities:
· Literacy
· Numeracy
· Information and communication technology (ICT) capability
· Critical and creative thinking
· Personal and social capability
· Ethical understanding
· Intercultural understanding.
The course outline will be updated across the year, responding to the needs of the cohort.
