Provisioning
Critical & creative thinking
Indooroopilly State School
identifies and provides students who excel, or have the potential to excel,
with the opportunities to develop their potential through appropriate
curriculum provisioning along with a selection of co-curricular activities.
Our school employs a Challenge Coach whose role is to assist teachers in identifying
and providing support for these students and coordinate programs pertinent to
the needs of high capacity students. The philosophy embraced by Indooroopilly
has its foundations in the department of Education & Training Policy.
Grouping
To support high achieving children
in class, students are clustered in groups across the classrooms to enable
these students to work together in an environment where the classroom teacher
provides higher order thinking tasks related to the Australian Curriculum.
Australian Maths Trust Enrichment Program
The Ramanujan, Newton and Dirichlet
level programs provide rigorous and robust mathematical challenge for students
in a problem solving context. These challenging tasks investigate the concept
areas of polyominoes, polyhedra, patterns, pre-algebra concepts, tessellations
and formula. This program requires significant perseverance and application
from the high capacity students.
