Character education is at the heart of everything we do. Meaningful connections are made between the curriculum and character education through the texts we read, the classroom discussions we have, the service we provide to the school and local communities and the student leadership opportunities offered in the school.
This year our school moved towards three BIGGER ideas that would allow for more differentiation and personalization of learning based on classroom needs and interests. These are based on Adrienne Gear's Powerful Understanding, focusing on thinking critically, reflecting, being compassionate, responsible, caring citizens.
Term 1- Powerful Understanding "Self"
Term 2- Powerful Understanding "Others"
Term 3- Powerful Understanding "World"
Our Prince Charles students gain a deeper understanding of each of these values and they are reflected in our everyday language at school.
