Educational Vision
Our mission is to collaboratively generate a positive learning environment that challenges and supports us all to grow.
Teaching spaces in the school allow for full implementation of a professional learning community approach. Integrated planning and delivery, reflecting on the impact of teaching practice, professional interaction and activation of student voice using evidence-based, high impact teaching strategies are all central to our educational vision. Learning Communities are designed around modifiable spaces that accommodate multiple learning approaches and that flexibly respond to the requirements of students and teachers, creating a sense of shared ownership, inclusion and everyday learning.
Students and teachers utilise easily accessible technology to achieve collaboration, research and creation. The school enables Year 7 and 8 students through our Academy program to investigate ideas collaboratively, encourage learners to create, refine, reflect on and publish their work, facilitating peer-to-peer teaching and engagement, and mobilising social networks for authentic inquiries or investigations. Year 9s begin their career and work education program through our Courage Program.
DESIGN
Community
Establishing a sense of place and community; a framework for the development of an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable urban structure, empowering strong, diverse communities is central to our vision of our educational community.
Commitment to Whole of Life Learning and Living
An understanding that life-long learning is most successful when it is inclusive of children, parents, neighbourhoods, wider communities and global citizenship. It must reflect the values, vision and aspirations of all members of the endeavour.
Integrating Evidence-based Knowledge of High Impact Learning and Teaching Research and Strategies
Opportunities to privilege seamless planning, professional interaction and student engagement in learning. Encourage quality professional learning opportunities and the conditions for capturing practice, building practice excellence, knowledge sharing and collaboration through team structures, collaborative design, planning and teaching and peer observations and feedback. All staff will contribute to the curriculum of the school and be part of professional learning teams with collaboration being the key in achieving the vision.
