The Elements aim to provide students with the skills to become respectful, responsible and safe learners in a global community and ensure learning for students across stages and is based on quality educational delievery, high expectations and shared professional practices.
The core of the Elements of Learning and AchievementFramework are seven student pillars that could be described as a skill set. These pillars are incorporated into all areas across the school community to provide and reinforce the skills students require to not only engage in the learning cycle but work towards becoming successful lifelong learners. Students engaged in the Elemnets Framework will begin to understand that these skills are linked to everyday life and therefore work towards gaining learning and social outcomes.
The Elemnts provides members of the school community with the framework that incorporates the pillars of Functioal Literacy, Practical Numeracy, Actions and Choices, Independent Living Skills, Health and Wellbeing, 21st Century Learner, Global Citzen into every subject area, teaching and learning plan. By teaching pillars within all lessons allow students to learn new skills, constantly practice and consolidate their new knowledge, build their self-esteem, not fear new learning experiences, and most importantly understand the significance of what they are learning.
From there, the Elements of Learning and Achievement have been shown as being able to be adapted and applied to a variety of school settings.
