LIHIR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Member School of Education QLD International
The Australian Curriculum provides the basis for programming, planning and assessing at Lihir International School and the school is able to provide this due to a licensing agreement with Education Queensland International.
The school is audited each year to ensure the high expectations of the licensing agreement are met and teachers travel to Australia each July for Professional Development to ensure teaching and learning at Lihir International School continually improves and keeps pace with education delivered in Australian schools.
Outstanding teaching and learning is evident in all curriculum areas.
There are currently 9 Learning Areas:
- Mathematics
- English
- Science
- The Arts
- Design and Technology
- Health and Physical Education
- Languages (Tok Pisin)
- HASS
Underpinning the implementation of the Australian Curriculum at Lihir International School is the continual focus on developing socially responsible and respectful students by promoting personal excellence and values for a positive and successful future.
Physical Education and Health is taught to all school classes by a specialist PE teacher and a specialist Art teacher facilitates Art lessons, for all classes, throughout the week.
Tok Pisin, the local PNG language, is the language other than English taught at our school.
The school features a range of extra curricula activities for children and these include out of school sport, singing group and Creative Writing Club while visiting specialists work at Lihir International School, throughout the year, in areas such as Speech Pathology, Educational Psychology and Growth and Development.
