The Junior School at Lindisfarne offers a wealth of opportunities to the development of the whole child.
We learn 10% of what we read, 15% of what we hear, but 80% of what we experience.
Classrooms at Lindisfarne provide active, hands-on and experiential learning opportunities.
Inquiry based learning is fostered, building on children's interests and background knowledge, which has direct and clear links to the 'real world'.
In our Junior School classrooms there is a deliberate shift from competitiveness to one of interdependence. With a firm focus on cooperative learning, children are taught to work cooperatively, developing such skills as leadership, negotiation and compromise. Self evaluation and personal goal setting is encouraged.
In addition to the 6 Key Learning areas:
English
Mathematics
HSIE
Science and Technology
Creative and Practical Arts
PD/H/PE
Lindisfarne offers students strong foundation in literacy skills.
