Student experiences
Depending on the negotiated focus, students may explore, investigate, create, collaborate, problem-solve, reflect and take action through hands-on experiences in and with the environment.
Curriculum link
Negotiated programs are developed around identified Australian Curriculum v9 learning goals and may draw across learning areas and General Capabilities, with opportunities to weave in Sustainability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures.
What makes it negotiated?
Programs are developed collaboratively where an identified opportunity aligns with Amaroo EEC’s educational priorities, expertise and capacity, and has potential to strengthen our broader program offering.
Important
Negotiated programs are not commissioned one-off programs. We prioritise ideas that are innovative, educationally purposeful and potentially transferable to other students and schools.
