This study examines values in the curriculum of one
specific Catholic girls' high school.
It reports on a school-based curriculum evaluation which
took place at the school and explores how the methodology
used imposed limitations on the explication of values.
The implications of these limitations on the development
of an appropriate curriculum for such a specific schoolbody
are examined in the light of the writings of Paulo
Freire and the outlines of an alternative method for
curriculum evaluation is developed and applied.
Major elements of this alternative model include an
historical analysis of the school community, the critical
appraisal of its place in society, and the development of
a praxis.
This three-step approach is repeated three times;
firstly in relation to the Catholic identity of the
school, secondly in consideration of gender issues for a
school for girls, and thirdly in respect to the school
itself, operating in Canberra in the 1980s.
