We believe that:
• Learning is more powerful when students are motivated and focused through
their participation in enjoyable and interesting activities that
are personally relevant.
• Learning
and self-esteem are heightened when all individuals and groups that
make up our school community are
valued and treated with
respect.
• Learning
is more meaningful when we share our life experiences, cultural beliefs,
ideas, perspectives,
interests and values
• Learning improves when we value
and encourage student input, self-reflection and responsibility.
• Setting appropriately high and
challenging standards and assessing both the learner and the learning
process are integral
parts of successful learning.
• Students learn best when materials
are developmentally appropriate and the educational program takes
into account differing learning
styles and abilities.
• The quality of learning is heightened
when students are engaged in activities that incorporate problem-solving,
creativity
and critical thinking.
• Learning is enhanced when students
develop a set of practices to collect information and share what
they know.
• Students learn successfully when they can work individually and collaboratively
in an organised, stimulating and safe learning environment with
structured routines.
