On Wednesday May 22 we were very pleased to play host to two visiting schools. Representatives all the way from Allendale Primary School in Western Australia and nearby Auburn West Public School joined us to find out about teaching and learning at Hilltop Road Public School.
Our visitors toured some of our clasrooms and had the opportunity to see teaching and learning in action. We shared some of our strategies and approaches such as Discovery Time, Socratic Seminars, Self Organised Learning Environments (SOLE) and Learning Intentions and Success Criteria (LISC).
We also shared some of our past PBL projects, inluding the living museum, gold rush, farmers market and several others. Some of our students hosted a question and answer session and took the opportunity to share their perspective on teaching and learning at our school.
Our Western Australian visitors also took the time to share a presentation of some of the processes and strategies they have had success with at their school. Thank you to all of our colleagues for making the effort to visit Hilltop Road and build our collective knowledge and skills.
