Curriculum, Teaching & Learning

One of the hallmarks of Yeronga SHS is the safe, disciplined and inclusive educational environment where young people can focus on achieving excellence in a range of academic, sporting and cultural pursuits. Through our Pathways to the Future curriculum model students have a real choice in determining the course that best meets their individual needs and helps them to achieve their goals and dreams.  

The key to improving learning outcomes is to recognise the diverse education and training needs of young people, and provide a range of opportunities to meet those needs. Our school community believes that student engagement is a precursor to achievement and as such we strive to constantly explore new approaches to schooling that ensures we are in step with the interests and imperatives of our young people. We strive to provide high quality education that makes a positive difference to the lives of all young people who enrol in our school community. We equip young people for the future to enable them to contribute to a socially, economically and culturally vibrant society.  

Yeronga State High School offers students a broad range of curriculum pathways across the Middle and Senior Phases of learning with a balance of academic, sporting, cultural and vocational experiences. The Curriculum in our school is flexible, broad and coherently organised around the 8 Key Learning Areas (English, Mathematics, Science, Study of Society & the Environment, The Arts, Health & Physical Education, Languages Other Than English, Technology).  The school is structured around 4 x 70 minute learning blocks a day to allow us to focus on developing and extending literacy, numeracy and thinking skills. The school operates a flexible day structure with a 2:35pm finish for all students to allow them extra time for balancing their travel, study and work commitments.
