Learning to learn

In Year 7 and 8 all students receive a fortnightly learning to learn lesson. Learning to learn is about encouraging students to become better learners, both in and out of school. Learning to learn stresses that learning is learnable and that everyone can improve. Subject content is delivered through learning behaviours called the six Rs: Resilience, Resourcefulness, Reflectiveness, Reciprocity, Readiness and Responsiveness. Students examine how they have learned and are encouraged to think about their learning. The course also focuses on developing attitude, skills and knowledge required to be a good learner.
