BELIEFS ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING 

At Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Primary School, we believe that … 

• All people are learners 
  
  
• Learning is a search for meaning
   
• Learning is a lifelong process 

At Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Primary School, we believe that children learn… 

• at different rates according to different learning styles
   
• when they are engaged in meaningful, sequential activities that are stimulating, motivating and related to life experiences
  
  
• when they feel accepted and free to take risks with their learning 
  
  
• when they are provided with meaningful feedback and have opportunities to reflect on their learning 
   
• when parents and teachers are supportive and involved in the children’s learning
