Our Curriculum
At Carina State School, we offer a rich, well-rounded curriculum that supports every child to grow, achieve, and thrive. Our teaching is guided by the Australian Curriculum and underpinned by evidence-based practices that meet the diverse needs of our learners.

We are committed to developing:
  • Curious learners who ask questions and seek understanding
  • Collaborative learners who work respectfully with others
  • Critical thinkers who reflect, reason, and problem-solve
  • Change-makers who take meaningful action in their communities
Curriculum Design
Our curriculum is grounded in the Australian Curriculum and enhanced by local priorities and our school's unique values. Our core subject areas include:
  • English – with a strong focus on reading, writing, speaking, and listening
  • Mathematics – developing deep understanding of number, measurement, patterns, and problem-solving
  • Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) – exploring history, geography, and how communities work
  • Science – encouraging curiosity through hands-on investigations and discovery
  • The Arts – including music taught by a specialist teacher every year from Prep to Year 6, as well as dance, drama, and visual arts
  • Technologies – with learning in both digital technologies and design technologies
  • Languages – Japanese is taught across the school
  • Health and Physical Education (HPE) – promoting healthy lifestyles and physical wellbeing
We place a strong, school-wide focus on reading, with explicit instruction in phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) ensures that students who need extra help receive targeted, research-informed intervention—so every child has the opportunity to succeed.

At Carina State School, we believe a strong curriculum builds confident, capable learners—ready for the future.

​Below is a Curriculum Overview for each year level as outlined by the Australian Curriculum:
