ACHIEVE: STUDENT LEARNING GROWTH

Our ultimate goal is to develop confident, capable and reflective learners.

At Thornbury High School, student learning growth is about more than achievement at a single point in time. It is about developing students who understand themselves as learners, take responsibility for improvement, and build confidence in their ability to succeed.

A shared, evidence-informed approach to learning.

Guided by research, staff expertise and student voice, Thornbury High School has developed a shared Learning Model. Lessons at Thornbury High follow this model as we attempt to maximise student growth in every lesson.

We believe that every student can grow through high-quality teaching, purposeful learning experiences and a school culture that values effort, improvement and achievement.

“What teachers do in the classroom has a greater impact on student learning than any other school-based factor.” — Australian Education Research Authority (AERO)

Learning Culture: Relationships first and an optimal Climate for Learning.

Learning at Thornbury High School is underpinned by strong relationships, clear routines and high expectations. Classrooms are calm and focused on learning.

Preparing students for a complex and changing world.

​Our students develop an understanding of a world beyond school, developing the skills necessary to become productive members of a future society and workforce. Alongside academic learning, students develop the capabilities required for future success.
