Children's University
We are excited to be launching the innovative Children's University program at our school this term.
Please consider this exciting new innovative program which is renown for it's success in assisting students in boosting academic achievement and increasing student ambition. Students are encouraged to explore and discover new ideas, concepts and experiences via Public and Restricted Learning Destinations and can choose topics they would enjoy.
Awards are based on effort, activity and time spent which allows access to everyone.
Christine MacLean will be the Children's University coordinator and will oversee the running and validation of Children’s University clubs or Restricted Learning Destinations in school.
Students who enrol in the program will be given a Passport to Learning which is where Children's Universtiy members collect their learning. Each activity is recorded along with the time spent, and validated with a stamp from the Learning Destination. As learning hours accrue, they build towards Children's University certificates awarded at graduations.
The cost to access the program is $16.50 (includes GST), per member per year. This includes a Passport to Learning, annual graduations as well as validating local Learning Destinations and access to the Children’s University website and Portal.
All students from Year 3 to 6 will attend an Information Session on Thursday, 26 May at 1:30pm. Junior Primary students can choose to attend too. If your child thinks they would be interested in undertaking the program then they can register and attend the session on Thursday, 9 June where they will be given their Passport to Learning. A parent information session will also be held after school on Thursday, 9th May at 3:30pm
Christine will be available to answer any questions you may have about Children's University from 27 May, 2022.
