Curriculum Support - Enrichment and Extension Programs

While classroom enrichment and extension activities are integral to the Calrossy curriculum, a further component to the extension program is offered through the Calrossy Resources Centre.

Many students demonstrate mastery of the basic curriculum and need additional enrichment or extension. The Enrichment and Extension programs aim to provide every student with experiences that promote critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning and communication in ways that are appropriately challenging.

Enrichment activities aim to extend the student's learning beyond the basic curriculum. In this program the student will pursue an area of interest not necessarily related to the curriculum. These activities often take the form of competitions or online lateral thinking exercises.

Extension activities allow for greater depth of treatment of topics within the current curriculum. Specialised learning situations are integral to the extension program. This may include Web quests, online School Certificate and HSC sample exercises, volunteer work placement.
