An Ideology of Teaching and Learning

The Learner Framework plays a vital role in the development of all curriculum. We consider these skills to be essential for our students future success and are committed to providing innovative opportunities for our young learners.

Teachers apply a range and balance of teaching approaches in their classroom practice, from explicit instruction to play-based and inquiry learning. We align curriculum, age-appropiate pedagogies and the CISE Curriculum to maximise student engagement in learning and to enhance outcomes. We believe in crafting learning experiences that match and highlight our students interests, strengths and capabilities.
