GENERAL CAPABILITIES
Literacy Numeracy Information and Communication Technology Critical and Creative Thinking
Students become literate as they develop the skills to learn and communicate confidently at school and to become effective individuals, community members, workers and citizens. These skills include listening, reading, viewing, writing, speaking and creating print, visual and digital materials accurately and purposefully within and across all learning areas.Literacy involves students engaging with the language and literacy demands of each learning area.
As they become literate students learn to: interpret, analyse, evaluate, respond to
and construct increasingly complex texts (Comprehension and composition)
understand, use, write and produce different types of text (Texts)
manage and produce grammatical patterns and structures in texts (Grammar)
make appropriate word selections and decode and comprehend new (basic, specialised and technical) vocabulary (Vocabulary)
use and produce a range of visual materials to learn and demonstrate learning (Visual information)
Students become numerate as they develop the capacity to recognise and understand the role of mathematics in the world around them and the confidence, willingness and ability to apply mathematics to their lives in ways that are constructive and meaningful.As they become numerate, students develop and use mathematical skills related to: Calculation and number Patterns and relationships Proportional reasoning Spatial reasoning Statistical literacy Measurement.
Students develop ICT competence when they learn to: Investigate with ICT: using ICT to plan and
refine information searches; to locate and access different types of data and information and to verify the integrity of data when investigating questions, topics or problems
Create with ICT: using ICT to generate ideas, plans, processes and products to create solutions to challenges or learning area tasks
Communicate with ICT: using ICT to communicate ideas and information with others adhering to social protocols appropriate to the communicative context (purpose, audience and technology)
Operate ICT: applying technical knowledge and skills to use ICT efficiently and to manage data and information when and as needed
Apply appropriate social and ethical protocols and practices to operate and manage ICT.
Students develop critical and creative thinking as they learn to generate and evaluate knowledge, ideas and possibilities, and use them when seeking new pathways or solutions. In learning to think broadly and deeply students learn to use reason and imagination to direct their thinking for different purposes. In the context of schooling, critical and creative thinking are integral to activities that require reason, logic, imagination and innovation.As they develop critical and creative thinking students learn to: pose insightful and purposeful questions apply logic and strategies to uncover
meaning and make reasoned judgments think beyond the immediate situation to
consider the ‘big picture’ before focussing on the detail
suspend judgment about a situation to consider alternative pathways
reflect on thinking, actions and processes generate and develop ideas and
possibilities analyse information logically and make
reasoned judgments evaluate ideas and create solutions and
draw conclusions assess the feasibility, possible risks and
benefits in the implementation of their
Diocese of Cairns, Catholic Education Services
ideas transfer their knowledge to new situations
Ethical Behaviour Personal and Social Competence Intercultural UnderstandingStudents develop ethical behaviour as they learn to understand and act in accordance with ethical principles. This includes understanding the role of ethical principles, values and virtues in human life; acting with moral integrity; acting with regard for others; and having a desire and capacity to work for the common good.
As they develop ethical behaviour students learn to: recognise that everyday life involves consideration of
competing values, rights, interests and social norms identify and investigate moral dimensions in issues develop an increasingly complex understanding of ethical
concepts, the status of moral knowledge and accepted values and ethical principles
explore questions such as:o What is the meaning of right and wrong and can I be
sure that I am right?o Why should I act morally?o Is it ever morally justifiable to lie?o What role should intuition, reason, emotion, duty or
self-interest have in ethical decision making?
Students develop personal and social competence as they learn to understand and manage themselves, their relationships, lives, work and learning more effectively. This involves recognising and regulating their emotions, developing concern for and understanding of others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams and handling challenging situations constructively.
As they develop personal and social competence students learn to: recognise and understand their own emotions, values and
strengths, have a realistic assessment of their own abilities and a well-grounded sense of self-esteem and self-confidence (Self-awareness)
manage their emotions and behaviour, persevere in overcoming obstacles, set personal and academic goals, develop self-discipline , resilience, adaptability and initiative (Self-management)
perceive and understand other people’s emotions and viewpoints, show understanding and empathy for others, identify the strengths of team members, define and accept individual and group roles and responsibilities, be of service to others (Social awareness)
form positive relationships, manage and influence the emotions and moods of others, cooperate and communicate effectively with others, work in teams, build leadership skills, make decisions, resolve conflict and resist inappropriate social pressure (Social management).
Students develop intercultural understanding as they learn to understand themselves in relation to others. This involves students valuing their own cultures and beliefs and those of others, and engaging with people of diverse cultures in ways that recognise commonalities and differences, create connections and cultivate respect between people.
As they develop intercultural understanding students learn to: identify increasingly sophisticated characteristics of their
own cultures and the cultures of others recognise that their own and others’ behaviours, attitudes
and values are influenced by their languages and cultures consider what it might be like to ‘walk in another’s shoes’ compare the experiences of others with their own, looking
for commonalities and differences between their lives and seeking to understand these
reflect on how intercultural encounters have affected their thoughts, feelings and actions
accept that there are different ways of seeing the world and live with that diversity
stand between cultures to facilitate understanding take responsibility for developing and improving
relationships between people from different cultures in Australia and in the wider world
contribute to and benefit from reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

TASK The student work demonstrates evidence of:
ROUTE PLANNER
Created the most direct route to and from Australia on a world map and used coordinates to locate cities on a world map.
Gathered information demonstrated the use of coordinates and directional arrows to show possible routes and identified the quickest route to London including compass points and other key features.
Gathered information demonstrated the accurate use of coordinates and directional arrows to show possible routes to London including compass points.
Gathered information demonstrated use of coordinates and directional arrows to show a route to London.
With some assistance, gathered information demonstrated no coordinates but included basic directional arrows to show a route to London.
Was unable to read a map to use coordinates or directional arrows to show a route to London.
ITINERARY
Gathered and recorded accurate information to assist the traveller to find their destinations easily.
The itinerary included a detailed list of arrival and departure times using 24 hour time, transition times, costs and other instructions to assist the traveller to find their destinations easily.
The itinerary included accurate arrival and departure times for all transport from Australia to London with detailed lists of times and costs to assist the traveller to find their destinations.
The itinerary included accurate arrival and departure times for all transport from Australia to London and to chosen Olympic events.
Needed to be reminded of the features of an itinerary, for example arrival and departure times. Information was not always correct.
The travel itinerary lacked the basic elements of correct arrival and departure times and was difficult to read.
BUDGET
Researched information used to prepare a budget for the trip.
Budget was clearly set out with a sensible title and headings. Included a detailed list of all costs. Calculated total costs accurately.
Itemised all the costs involved in the trip. Organised the information into a budget that was easy to read and included some hidden costs.. All calculations were error free.
Organise information on costs into a usable budget for most obvious costs. Needed prompting to look for any hidden costs. Checked the calculations with the teacher.
Was unable to organise the information on costs into a budget without considerable assistance. Needed help with all calculations.
Made very simple lists of costs but did not understand the requirements of a budget. Did not attempt any calculations.
REFLECTION ON LEARNING
Used information to reflect on and justify travel plans and expenditure.
Justified the final travel plan by discussing the pros and cons of the different options and referred to the flight path, budget and itinerary.
Justified the final travel plan by describing the different options and by referring to the flight path, budget and itinerary.
Explained briefly, why the route was chosen and some reasons for budget and itinerary choices.
Recommended a route and simple budget but was not able to rely on any results to justify the decision when questioned.
Was not able to offer any justification for chosen route, budget or itinerary.
