Junior High School (Kureelpa Crew)
Exploration, and Enthusiasm for Learning
This group is for children whose levels range from Grade 7. Colleen Carter, Jane Hold & Gil Hatcher teach in the Kureelpa Crew classroom.
Junior High School is the first step in the High School journey, and an opportunity for students to transition into the High School sector. In Junior High School students are immersed in inquiry-based learning where they will be guided in becoming critical and creative thinkers.
Using this approach, students are encouraged to use their problem-solving skills to explore real-world issues through learning how to ask relevant questions, interpret evidence and share their learning. Inquiry-based learning encourages communication between peers and their teachers and provides a safe environment for students to engage in discussions and debates centred on real-world topics.
Middle Years (Gulla Gang)
Self Discovery
This group is for children whose levels range from Grade 8 to Grade 9. Colleen Carter, Jane Hold & Gil Hatcher teach in the Gulla Gang classroom.
In Middle High School, students use inquiry-based learning to strengthen their critical and creative thinking skills as well as enhancing their problem solving abilities. This approach is student centred and when being global citizens, they develop skills essential to being a 21st century learner.
Through planning, organising, processing, and designing, students use a cross-curricula approach to produce authentic bodies of work demonstrating a deep understanding of real-world issues.
