Learning assets

                      Learners at St Anne’s College draw on five Inquiry learning assets:                        

We can work with others on shared goals, questions and challenges. We know how to be a constructive part of a team, to use different roles for different tasks and to actively listen to and respect other people’s views. We understand how our behaviour affects others. 

Key words - empathic, compassionate, reliable.   

We can think logically, creatively and reflectively. We think  about how we use our thinking and have different strategies for making our thinking visible to others. We remain open-minded and know that our thinking changes as we learn. 

Key words – open-minded, flexible, persistent.

We can formulate questions and locate and use a wide range of sources and techniques to investigate problems, interests and issues. We think critically about the information we gather and we are careful to acknowledge our sources. 

Key words – curious, courageous, resourceful.

We can learn independently and can make wise decisions about our learning. We know ourselves as learners and can set and work towards personal goals. We know we can continually improve as learners. 

Key words – resilient; responsible; reflective

We can communicate ideas confidently in different ways and for different purposes. We listen thoughtfully to what others communicate to us. We can adapt our communication style to different contexts. 

Key words – confident, responsive, respectful.
