CLASSES
Gascoyne Junction Remote Community School provides flexible Lower and Upper Class groupings that support personalised learning for students from Kindergarten through to Year 12.
Lower Class
The Lower Class caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 3 and is staffed by a classroom teacher supported by a full-time education assistant.
The program provides intentional learning opportunities through play, alongside developmentally appropriate, structured instruction. Learning takes place in a large, open, and well-resourced classroom, where teachers employ a range of teaching strategies to support the individual learning needs of each student.
The program aligns with the National Quality Standard (NQS), which provides a national benchmark for quality education and care. Gascoyne Junction Remote Community School is committed to meeting these standards, while also adhering to the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline, which defines the essential knowledge, understandings, and skills for students across Western Australia.
Upper Class
The Upper Class caters for students from Year 4 to Year 12, with class groupings adjusted as required to reflect the age range and needs of the current student cohort.
The program aligns with the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline, which defines the core knowledge, understandings, and skills essential for all Western Australian students.
Gascoyne Junction Remote Community School is committed to meeting curriculum requirements while maintaining high standards of teaching and learning.
A strong focus is placed on Literacy and Numeracy, supported by the use of high-quality, evidence-based programs that guide lesson planning and instruction.
Small class sizes and a broad age range enable teachers to develop and implement individualised learning plans, ensuring teaching is targeted to each student’s academic and developmental needs.
Senior students are provided with opportunities to participate in Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs, along with work experience placements in partnership with the Shire of Gascoyne, supporting successful pathways beyond school.
LEARNING
Sports and Physical Recreation
Students across all year levels participate in regular morning fitness activities designed to support both physical wellbeing and mental health. These sessions include a range of team-based and individual skill-building activities, utilising equipment from the school’s well-resourced sports shed.
Fitness activities are primarily conducted within class groups, with whole-school sessions held at times to promote teamwork, cooperation, and mutual respect. Students also take part in a variety of whole-school sporting events, including an annual Fun Run and Sports Carnival, and, when qualified instructors are available, a structured swimming program.
Healthy lifestyle education is embedded across classroom programs, with a strong focus on healthy eating initiatives and practical cooking experiences. Students demonstrate a sound understanding of healthy choices, supported through positive partnerships with families.
