Curriculum Resources

…provides an introduction to a suite of resources which will be referred to as “God’s Big Story 2.0.”

God’s Big Story 2.0 is the second iteration of curriculum resources developed by CSA in Partnership with Christian Heritage College for Christian Schools and teachers, to assist them in thinking through the why, what and how of developing and delivering quality curriculum in a Christian School. It is not intended to be a “one size fits all” model, rather a provocative starting point for many school leadership and teaching team conversations.

There are an increasing number of Subject Area Companion Guides available, and copies of the documents may be obtained from the Resources section of this page.

Additionally, “hard copies” of the documents are available from the on-line store.

…is designed to equip both experienced and beginning curriculum specialists to roll out a Christian worldview approach to Curriculum in Christian schools. Those who may be new to God’s Big Story (GBS) will gain new perspectives on how to bring an authentic Biblical approach to programming in their schools. Curriculum leaders will be trained through a series of modules and provided with training materials to then train other teachers and leaders in their own schools.

For those leaders who do not have a copy of God’s Big Story, a free copy of the document may be obtained from the Resources section of this page.

Thriving in Community (TIC), a Christian Schools Australia (CSA) curriculum resource developed in partnership with Alphacrucis College and proudly sponsored by Cyberhound, is designed to assist Principals and teachers in implementing elements of the National Safe Schools Framework (NSSF), most particularly element 6. It is the first offering of a practical CSA approach to the framework, proposing ways for teachers to think about implementing the National Safe Schools Framework (NSSF) within a Christian school context, and offering a selected range of middle-school related curriculum resources. This is the first stage of a developing project, with future stages envisaged to provide resources for Junior and Senior school levels, as well as widening the range of resources suitable for learning in the middle-years. It is anticipated that the resource will be accompanied by various professional development courses as the project develops.

Copies of the document may be obtained from the Resources section of this page.

The first document will be a Christian Education program and a Service Learning Framework. CSA has partnered with Trinity College Queensland to develop a Christian Education Program and Service Learning Framework for use in CSA member schools. This resource may be:

• applied by schools as a form of audit tool against what their school is already doing;
• used to supplement materials already in use; or,
• adopted fully as the school’s Christian Education program.

Copies of the document may be obtained from the Resources section of the Biblical Literacy page.
