The document discusses plans to innovate the school curriculum to improve student performance and outcomes. It describes the current strengths and weaknesses, including that some students are not making sufficient progress. The proposed solution is to implement a new curriculum pathway with 4 hours per week of additional literacy and numeracy support for struggling students from Year 7 to Year 9. Initial results suggest this intervention has improved student confidence and engagement.
