The Junior Secondary Phase of Learning is a very important phase as teachers need to respond to the changing cognitive, physical, emotional, economic, social, and technological needs and conditions associated with adolescence. The relationship therefore between teachers and students is crucial as teachers need to adapt their teaching and learning strategies to cater for these distinctive needs and to maximise learning. Students who are actively engaged in purposeful and intellectually challenging learning throughout their Junior Secondary Phase of Learning are more likely to complete twelve years of learning and gain qualifications that will prepare them for further learning, training or work.
Bellbird Park State Secondary College prides itself on providing our students with learning pathways for the future. We have processes in place to ensure that every student’s progress is closely monitored. Students will participate in intensive lessons designed to improve their literacy and numeracy skills and ensure that they are able to access the curriculum in all areas. They will also explore topics essential to their well-being and participate in activities designed to ensure a smooth transition through their schooling years.
Academic Integrity and Assessment at Bellbird Park:
The Bellbird Park State Secondary College Assessment Policy has been developed to ensure there is consistency, clarity and equity in relation to assessment for students and teachers; they should feel secure in the knowledge that every student in each year level can access equitable and comparable levels of support. The policy assists students and parents understand the academic requirements of students as they move through their schooling in line with the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) Guidelines.
Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA) have replaced Special Consideration at the College. If your student has experienced personal injury, illness, grief, loss or trauma or have a diagnosed disability which may be a barrier to your performance in assessment you may be eligible for an AARA. Information regarding eligibility for an AARA is contained in our College Assessment Policy.
