Journey summary

We have embedded the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) principles of what makes a successful learning environment in to our pedagogical approach. We redesigned curriculum 7-10 and designed learning spaces that provide the alignment of space and pedagogy to support students and staff in collaborative, personalised and integrative practices. The spaces were designed to celebrate the social nature of learning.
