TEACHING AND MENTORING PHILOSOPHY
Our unique beliefs, ethics and principles around teaching, learning and mentoring have and continue to evolve over time through hands-on experience, education, observations and research. Commitment to these are encapsulated in our guiding teaching philosophy to:
-
Value each student as an individual with their own specific learning needs, styles and preferences;
-
Cultivate critical thinking strategies;
-
Design and deliver a curriculum centred on the student's interest to stimulate a passion for learning;
-
Nurture life-long learning skills;
-
Help students develop a deep respect for themselves, others, their environment and the wider community;
-
Provide a learning space that is safe, supports risk-taking, invites the sharing of ideas and promotes holistic learning;
-
Develop and enhance the necessary skills for students to excel in an increasingly competitive world;
-
Allow the student's natural curiosity to direct their learning;
-
Create opportunities for individual discovery; and
-
Use regular honest and open feedback from parents and students to drive continuous improvement.
