Equals Modules:

 

 

 

Sir Keith park school is using the Equals Moving on framework to develop the senior school curriculum.  The curriculum is designed to form a comprehensive framework appropriate to the needs of students aged 16-21, comprised of a breadth of relevant and stimulating learning opportunities, which can be used to address student's individual learning needs and prepare them for life after school.

 

The curriculum is organised in five, structured, one year programmes of learning. 

                 1.  Explorer

                 2. Adventurer

                 3. Voyager

                 4. Globetrotter

                 5. Traveller    

 

In addition to this student follow programmes of learning in functional literacy, numeracy and ICT. Each student has a portfolio of their learning and achievement. the portfolio of learning both involves the teacher and student self-reflection. Sir Keith Park has an internal certification of achievement for these modules.

 

 
 
Sports: 

 

Sir Keith Park School students are involved in the Special Olympics ‘Schools Programme’. We compete in the following sporting codes: athletics, swimming, basketball, and football (soccer).  Through sport, students learn and use important life skills such as resilience, communication, teamwork and socialisation. The Special Olympics School Programme usually involves training in a specific sport for four to six weeks and then participating in a Schools Ribbon Day. where athletes from other Special Olympics 'School Programmes' are invited to compete and have fun. It’s a great way to meet new friends from other schools!

Students develop fitness, demonstrate courage and experience success/achievement which may follow through to further participation in Special Olympics sports post-school.
