At Woodleigh, we believe that every child can be a compassionate and active contributor to society. From the first days in our Early Childhood Centre, we aim to develop young people who embody their values and understandings and act upon them both at school and beyond.
Woodleigh’s Community Partnerships Program adds breadth, depth, and enrichment to our young people’s school experience. Junior Campus programs such as our partnership with Wugularr School in the Northern Territory and our Local and International involvement with the Round Square network of schools are critical. They empower students to feel that they can make a difference and leave a positive legacy that enriches the lives of others.
By challenging primary-aged students to engage in authentic experiences that embed Woodleigh’s values of Respect for Self, Respect for Others and Respect for The Environment, we strengthen our community and build solid connections, emotional intelligence and long-lasting relationships.
What makes these learning experiences so powerful is that they engage students in the real world. By working with real people to create real understandings, our students connect deeply with their learning – and are empowered to find their voice and be active in their education rather than solely being acted upon.
In a world that no longer rewards people for what they know but for what they can do with what they know, these human skills will enable our young people to adapt and be successful. We are proud to see our students connect with the broader world and bring about positive change through their learning.
