Discovery

Read more

Discovery is a dedicated weekly learning experience designed to support the academic, personal, social, and cultural development of our students.

It recognises that young adolescents thrive when they have opportunities to explore interests, develop strengths, build relationships, and experience meaningful success.

Each term, students choose from a range of Discovery pathways designed and led by teachers. These experiences may include creative arts, technology, cultural learning, practical skills, service projects, leadership, sustainability, innovation, or other areas of interest.

Each Discovery pathway will include:

  • A focus area – something students can explore, investigate, and develop skills in.
  • Skill development – students learn specific knowledge, techniques, and transferable capabilities.
  • A meaningful outcome – students create, perform, contribute, or share something tangible.
