Curriculum Overview
Providing structured, flexible, and supportive educational pathways tailored to individual student needs and future goals.
Flexible & Supportive Curriculum Delivery
At My Independent School (MIS), our curriculum framework is structured to ensure every young person can access learning in ways that reflect their strengths, support needs, and future aspirations.
By offering adjustments, practical learning opportunities, and tailored senior pathways, we assist students to re-engage with education, build self-belief, and prepare for post-school success.
Key Learning Pillars
Australian Curriculum
In Years 7 to 10, MIS delivers learning aligned with the Australian Curriculum across core learning areas including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Health and Physical Education, and the Arts.
Units are designed to be accessible and engaging, utilizing varied delivery methods to support different learning styles and build essential literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills.
Senior Pathways & QCAA Syllabuses
In the senior years, MIS offers pathways tailored to employment, vocational training, or further education. Curriculum offerings align with Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) Applied Syllabuses.
Senior options emphasize practical knowledge and skills, supporting students to earn credits toward their Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA) or Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) pathways where appropriate.
Vocational & Practical Learning
To support practical skill development and post-school transitions, MIS facilitates access to Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses, TAFE programs, and school-based traineeships or apprenticeships.
Students are encouraged to explore practical career interests while receiving ongoing support from teaching and pastoral staff to manage their learning commitments.
Adjustments & Assessment Flexibility
Recognizing that students learn and demonstrate understanding in different ways, teachers implement reasonable adjustments to curriculum delivery and assessment tasks.
- Flexible assessment formats (oral, visual, portfolio, project-based)
- Adjusted timelines and chunked tasks
- Targeted literacy and numeracy support
- Calm and adaptable learning spaces
Community & Real-World Connections
Learning at MIS extends beyond traditional classroom instruction. Community visits, practical projects, and collaborative activities allow students to connect learning to real-world contexts, developing practical social, vocational, and life skills.
