Learning in the classroom
Learning is personalised, with the students’ learning needs, interests and strengths at the centre. Our students are empowered to initiate and own their learning. We encourage engagement, and support our students to understand themselves as learners.
Digital classrooms enable students to access online resources and work collaboratively. We believe that in order to prepare our students for higher education, they need to be flexible learners who adapt to evolving technologies.
