SENIOR YEARS LEARNING MODEL

“I know how to use my time more efficiently from the Independent Learning Tutorials.”

“The SYLM has helped me navigate how much work I can aim to work through in a structured time.”

“I understand how to prioritise my work and I can choose what to work on.”

Our Year 12 students also shared the benefits the SYLM has had on their self-discipline, concentration and independent learning, all essential skills for post-school tertiary study.

“Post-school, I know I will be able to stay organised with my lecture timetable and diligently work on my own.”

“My attention is much better when I study independently and revise for assessments.”

“I can prioritise my study when at home and for what works for me.”

“I have learnt how to pre-learn content for my classes.”

As Schleicher expresses “resilience and innovation in education can go hand in hand. If we anticipate the future, we can shape it too. Yes, the pandemic surprised us. But it taught us that, if need be, we can rewire our systems on the fly. And if we can do that, we have it in us to craft a stronger, bolder, better education.” At St Catherine’s we aspire to learning that is whole, relevant, deep, social, and transformational. We continue to adapt and innovate our academic programs to meet the needs of our learners and the 21st century skills and thinking they require.

Our SYLM has created a learning environment that responds to the changing needs of the global workplace and provides our senior students with a learning platform that develops in them the ability to be Bold, Independent, Creative, Resilient thinkers.
