signature approaches

Although programmes and projects are as different as the schools and organisations they are designed for, they are all based on a rationale and set of approaches developed over the last ten years.

• Combining academic and experiential learning.
• Collaboration and partnership.
• All students engaged with global learning and the urgent issues of the day.
• All programs mainstreamed, rigorous, intentional and progressive.
• Joining the dots to maximise existing programs, resources and people.
• Rethinking community service as community learning, community interaction and community partnership.
• Creating a portfolio of sustained local and global community partnerships.
• Global trips and local community interaction linked directly to curriculum.
• Creating intentional shared language.
• Student leadership and student voice.
• Developing tools for evaluation, feedback and record-keeping.
• Understanding that we can do harm as well as good.
• Story telling, witnessing and community mapping.
• Celebrating relationships, sharing experiences, creating publications.
• Making ‘the other’ real.
