September is here!
Hello September! Hello Learners!
This month is about more than lessons it’s about who we are and how we grow together. In September, we’ll show character through kindness and resilience, and strengthen our citizenship by contributing to our schools and communities. We’ll build collaboration and communication as we learn with and from one another. And we’ll stretch our creativity and critical thinking to explore new ideas and solve problems with confidence.
Most of all, let’s keep learning, sharing and supporting one another

WDC Global Competencies
Explore the WDC competencies framework and resources for educators. The WDC Competencies Framework focuses on the essential skills that students need to thrive in today's world. We call them the 6 C's: creativity, communication, collaboration, citizenship, critical thinking skills, and character. By developing these competencies, students will be able to think creatively, express themselves effectively, work well with others, be responsible citizens, think critically, and possess strong character. This framework is designed to be integrated into the curriculum, so students can learn and apply these skills in real-world contexts. With the 6 C's, students will be well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

The Meta -skills
The Meta -skills
As learners move into upper primary, they begin to explore Meta- skills, which build on and align with the 6 C’s. Both frameworks highlight the essential skills and qualities young people need for learning, life, and work.
The three groups of MetaSkills are:
🧑🎓 Self-management – skills like focusing, adapting, taking initiative, and showing integrity.
🤝 Social intelligence – skills like communicating, collaborating, showing empathy, and leading.
💡 Innovation – skills like creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, and sense-making.
Together, the 6 C’s and MetaSkills reinforce one another helping learners to think, create, connect, and adapt. The more they are practiced, the stronger they become.
