WHY?
At Erindale College, we believe that all students can be successful.
Every student must develop 'Future' skills to achieve and progress their own personal pathway through a rapidly changing world.
While the College years are for you to learn about the things that you are interested in, that valuable time can also be used to develop the skills that will help you progress in life - no matter what path you choose or where you find yourself in the future.
HOW?
The Erindale College Learner Profile shows the skills you need to develop for success in your studies. You can also transfer these skills and use them in your extra-curricular, work, friends, family and life after school.
WHAT?
The Erindale College Learner Profile is 6 key ways of being in the world - ways to help you achieve your goals, develop your strengths and help you face your challenges.
The circle design is called Nguru. It means Gathering Place, and was created by student Ms Lani Keen-Church in Year 12. For Lani, this place is Erindale College.
It holds the Erindale College Learner profile together as a way of being in the world.
It reminds us all every day to be inclusive, mindful of different perspectives and connected to each other and our important places.
A Model of Learning - Success Criteria!
You can get better at each of the 6 Learner Profiles.
There are three key stages to all learning - Surface, Deep and Transfer.
Surface
Surface
The surface stage is the very beginning of your learning. It's where you can identify, label and describe what you are doing.
You can read a recipe, identify your ingredients and follow instructions to make a cake.
Deep
Deep
This is when you understand the material you are working with and can explain processes and how things work. You can pull apart your knowledge and provide evidence to support your thinking. You can compare and contrast.
You can successfully make a whole variety of cakes, even though you still need the recipe.
Transfer
Transfer
This is the final stage where you can take your knowledge and understanding and apply it to new and different situations. Like other classes, at work or with family.
You can now create your own dessert based on your understanding of the baking process.
