Learning in the Junior High
At this stage, learners are finding the purpose in their passions. They are encouraged to think deeply and are introduced to industry leaders and experiences where they can be mentored and where their outputs can be meaningfully incorporated into the real world.
Academic and technical skills are nurtured through high teacher-to-student ratios, and working with technology to ensure learning is personalised. Explicit sessions in literacy, numeracy, and inquiry learning are provided each day, as well as weekly Skills Development sessions.
At this stage of adolescent development, learners are able to explore the ethical dimensions of decisions and how the consequences of decisions flow through society. They are encouraged to participate in community events, take ownership of their learning, and begin their leadership journey.
