Preparing Students for a Changing World
Narembeen District High School
Learning
We have a positive approach to learning and encourage it in others; we advance student learning based on our belief that all students have the capacity to learn, achieve and succeed. We will not allow the behaviour of any student to affect the learning of others.
Our Teaching and Learning Beliefs
Our aspiration is for every student, in every classroom, every day to have:
​
-
A safe, supportive and inclusive environment where all students feel valued and encouraged.
-
Social, emotional and academic needs nurtured and developed.
-
Teaching and learning that is visible and enables quality feedback and reflection.
-
High quality teaching, producing high performing students.
-
Parents and carers working in partnership with the school to maximise learning and social outcomes.

Pre-K -K
Early Childhood Phase of Learning
Children at this phase of development have a strong desire to make sense of their world and to represent and communicate their experiences and understandings. It is important that learning experiences build upon each child’s understandings, skills, values and experiences, both inside and outside formal schooling.
