Curriculum
LHC Classroom Learning Design Process
The Lourdes Hill College Learning Futures Framework
provides a touchstone for the development of consistent,
high quality teaching practices. We recognise that
effective teachers provide productive and engaging
learning environments which challenge and support
students to become successful learners, con昀椀dent and
creative individuals, and active and informed citizens.
The LHC Learning Futures Framework supports the
Australian Curriculum General Capabilities which identify
essential skills for twenty-昀椀rst century learners.
LHC Classroom Learning Design Process
The classroom learning process continues to draw on the
Dimension of Learning curriculum model. All teaching
staff follow this same process to design successful
learning sequences for each and every lesson to enhance
the student learning experience.
Subjects
The subjects currently offered to students of the College
are listed below.
Middel School: LHC Middle School curriculum provides
a three year learning journey for young adolescents, built
around the following key factors:
•
A subject-connected, non-crowded curriculum
•
A thematic curriculum, relevant to the life of learners -
In Every Lesson, Every Day,
Every Teacher
Relationships, Investigation, Creativity
•
Planning and delivery by teams of teachers
•
Strong teacher-student relationships built on continuity
of teachers
•
Extended blocks of instruction
Senior School: Our Senior School students are provided
with a diverse range of opportunities to experience real
and authentic learning which will connect them with their
future beyond Lourdes Hill.
In Year 10 students are given the opportunity to explore
a wide range of elective subjects. We believe these
opportunities will equip students to con昀椀dently choose
subjects to pursue in Years 11 and 12 and beyond.
In Years 11 and 12, students may choose an ATAR pathway for
direct entry to university or a VET pathway, which includes
a traineeship.
The College offers:
•
Our Senior School Success (Triple S) Program
•
Preparation for university entrance
•
One-on-one academic mentoring programs to
enhance academic outcomes
•
A comprehensive onsite Career Program
