Learning
At our school, we implement explicit teaching, which involves clearly communicating to students what they are learning, why it is important, and providing step-by-step instructions on how to do it. This approach aims to help students comprehend new concepts by breaking them down into more manageable components. We prioritize on student-centred, inclusive and practical learning. We strive to support all learning styles and individual needs of our students. Our teachers implement proven teaching strategies to ensure effective learning outcomes. Furthermore, they actively engage in continuous professional development to remain updated with the best teaching practices.
Our learning approach includes:
- Real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- Technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- Flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- Community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- Checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- Setting learning goals with each student
- Giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- Reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- Providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- Making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- Working with families to support learning at home and school
- Helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
