..Integrative learning is an approach where the learner brings together prior knowledge and experiences to support new knowledge and experiences. By doing this, learners draw on their skills and apply them to new experiences at a more complex level. The concept behind integrative learning is that students take ownership of their own learning, becoming critical inquiries who are able to make meaningful connections between different disciplines and utilise critical thinking to real-life problems... (Mansilla, 2008).
The Secondary Studies faculty supports learning in Stage 4 through an integrated approach. Our focus is to integrate concepts taught in the students subjects to create a meaningful project that teaches 21st Century skills in:
- Collaboration within group work
- Communication skills whilst working as a team or individually
- Problem solving skills
- To demonstrate creativity and/or innovation
- Technology to facilitate learning
Our team in 2025 is Ms Russell, Ms Micallef, Ms Carroll and Ms Jayne
