Teaching and Learning
21st Century Learning
At Aireys Inlet Primary School, we provide rich and supportive environments to develop our students into 21st Century Learners. Many of the jobs that your children will have when they are adults are not even created yet, so it is so important for them to develop these skills to transfer this knowledge into every aspect of their lives.
These skills are developed through rich Literacy and Numeracy experiences and are at the core of our teaching and learning programs.
We use a variety of tools and strategies to provide our students with opportunities to develop these skills. These include using apps to demonstrate and prove their thinking, flexible learning spaces to promote a variety of learning experiences, and individualised teaching and learning to target the needs of all students. The Victorian Curriculum sets out what every student should learn during their first eleven years of schooling. The curriculum is the common set of knowledge and skills required by students for life-long learning, social development and active and informed citizenship.
