A Look at Learning

5 Questions for Learning

At St Joseph's we foster a culture of learning and growth, where students can idenitfy their learning goals and what they need to do to achieve these goals and to continue to improve in their learning. Alongside our Learning Intentions and Success Criteria, we also intermittenly ask our students the 5 questions for learning. These questions could also be asked at home to gain a deeper insight into your child's day at school!
