Educating for the future
The learning journey at St John's honours the developmental stages in a student’s life. Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we prepare students for the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to lead and work both independently and collaboratively.
Educating for the future
Secondary learning goes way beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom.
It is in Years 9 to 12 that the ambitious goals of St John's Primary School students are most fully realised.
Inquiry Pedagogy:
Blended mastery
Students are connected to the real world, prepared for success as lifelong learners and future professional engagement.
Having grown and matured through the initial years of adolescence, students at these ages are beginning to settle down. In response to this, secondary students engage in a personalised learning program that seeks genuine dialogue to challenge students to raise their own questions, create their own ideas, seek solutions to real world challenges and explore their interests and passions.
Project Based learning (PBL) engages students with real world problem-solving. Students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, creativity and communication skills. Every day, students strengthen their academic mindset with the skills needed to take responsibility for their own learning journey.
Years 9 to 12 challenges traditional learning spaces and traditional pathways. Education has no physical boundaries. Learning extends way beyond classroom walls and embraces vocational options, accelerated pathways and university subjects in senior years.
Learners become creative critical thinkers through personalised and accelerated programs. Learners become connected and communicate through real-life experiences. Through this learning journey they soon discover how awesome they can be.
