The curriculum at Clinton State School is engaging and challenging, and
delivered in a supportive and caring environment. This allows each student to
develop to the utmost of his/her capabilities. Our priority is for each
student to possess the skills in literacy and numeracy and the required
knowledge and understandings to become a productive member of society, with the
abilities to adapt to change, think and reason, communicate effectively, and
continue to be a life-long learner in our ever-changing world.
The school community places particular importance on the productive
partnership that is developed between home and school and the important,
positive impact this has on each child's learning.
At Clinton we have a strong belief in ‘Reward for Effort’ and
encourage all students to become active participants in their learning. Goal
setting is one approach used to foster students in making connections between
their own personal choices for learning and the end results.
More detailed information about the curriculum at Clinton can be
