Contemporary learning environments are designed to meet the needs of students in a digital age. Contemporary learning spaces offer flexibility and opportunities for collaboration, independence and connectivity to global resources.
Learners and teachers create contemporary learning environments and quality learning outcomes as they shape and enrich their own and other’s worlds.
Contemporary leaning is personalised and provides anytime, anywhere access for students to portable technologies. This is accomplished through the use of computers, iPads, drones and robotics. Teachers and students also have access to online learning programs on a daily basis.
This contemporary learning is underpinned by the following assumptions:
- The world of students is connected by the use of contemporary information processing, communication and collaboration tools.
- Teachers engage in continuous learning to enhance their professional practice and the practices of their students.
- Parents are empowered to become actively involved in their child’s educations by accessing the school website and parent portal online.
- Planning and resourcing is future-focused and flexibly delivered within the learning context of the school.
