Character & Citizenship Education
Vision
A resilient and responsible Townsvillite; a compassionate and active member of the community.
Teaching Approach
The CCE curriculum is based on the three big ideas of Identity, Relationships and Choices. It involves the teaching and learning of core values and social-emotional competencies with a focus on developing a sense of purpose in our students.
At Townsville, teachers use the SEE approach to create key Student Development Experiences to provide students with varied and authentic opportunities to learn, apply and demonstrate good values, good character, social-emotional competencies and citizenship dispositions.
SEE Approach
-
Stories and scenarios
-
Explicit skills instruction
-
Experiential learning
Students learn to recognise and clarify their values through the process of perspective taking and reflections. They will be equipped with skills to navigate various life circumstances and guide them in making responsible decisions. Most importantly, students will undergo a cycle of participating, reflecting, thinking, and acting to internalise their learning experiences.
