Global & Future Capabilities

Learning for the Future

Students build confidence, adaptability and resilience to support lifelong learning.

At Thornbury High School, learning for the future is about more than preparing students for a single pathway or predicted career. The future is complex and constantly changing, and the most important preparation schools can provide its students is confidence, resilience and the ability to learn and adapt  in new situations.

Global Citizenship

We are proud of our school’s rich, diverse cultural backgrounds.  Together we learn with Chinese, British, Vietnamese, Central European, Saudi Arabians, Somalians, Italians, Greeks and First Australians. This allows students a unique opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives and develop ethical, informed approaches to global issues.

Language Immersion Program

Our Italian immersion program allows students who are passionate about learning Italian to be surrounded by the language in other classes.  Following the globally recognised ‘content and language integrated learning (CLIL)’ process, students are taught other subjects such as history, geography, food studies, performing arts and business and civics in Italian.  Luckily we have many teachers who speak Italian!  Bellissima! In addition, our sister schools in Bologna Italy allows for cultural sharing for students, with opportunities to visit and experience school life in another country.  School families host visiting students; and teachers teach abroad, sharing best practice and building our community’s cultural appreciation.

STEAM

Incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, evidence has shown than STEAM based professions are enduring and continually developing as we become an increasingly technological society.  These disciplines work in harmony to create a future that is under construction, one where technology, science, maths and the arts are crucial. The 21st century enterprise skills of digital literacy, communication and problem solving are essential to STEAM programs.
