Learning Experiences

Learning experiences encompass all activities and interactions where learning takes place, within and beyond the classroom environment. Positive learning experiences enrich the education of each individual by nurturing curiosity, expanding horizons and generating the joy of learning.

Key Principles

• Authentic and meaningful learning experiences stimulate the imagination of all learners and promote enjoyment.

• Rich and memorable learning experiences enable all learners to make connections and to transfer skills, knowledge and understanding to new contexts.

• Practitioners should have a thorough knowledge of the school’s locality in order to plan for rich learning experiences.

• Partnerships with the local and wider community provide opportunities for relevant and real world contexts for learning.

• Learners should be given the opportunity to be involved in designing their own learning experiences.
