Experiential Learning

We embarked on experiencing how learning is designed in some of our classes where we are beginning to embrace agency and opportunities for children

In today's forum we embarked on experiencing how learning is designed in some of our classes where we are beginning to embrace agency and opportunities for children.  Today parents had to choose from three options of learning, including two forums with experts and an opportunities to hear parent perspectives from another school.  One expert group was focused on inclusion and partnerships discussed with our incoming Head of School Simon Gillespie and incoming Senior School Principal Seren Davis.  The other group was led by students in Grade 4 and 5 who explained how passion and purpose has motivated their learning through passion projects, iTime and the exhibition.  They were able answer questions about how the learning experience is transforming their learning both at home and at school and the vast array of skills they are acquiring in the process.

The third group also had an opportunity to watch the following TED Talk about how to support your child in their learning, by stepping back and support their growth and a home environment that nurtures who they are not what we want them to be.  In the end no-one chose this option so we've included below for those who are interested:
