Enable

Padua teachers enable students by developing a courageous approach to learning, modelling a culture where mistakes are welcomed and seen as an opportunity for learning. Our teachers develop an inclusive and differentiated curriculum that is accessible to all and demonstrates a common language for literacy and, where applicable, numeracy. This is visible in all classrooms.

The learning environment is positive, empowering and flexible

Teaching is aligned to the needs and readiness of students
Work is differentiated
Collaborative and independent learning opportunities are offered
Students are provided with opportunities to co-construct their learning to develop their sense of curiosity

The curriculum is aligned to ensure continuity and progression of learning

Padua teachers collaboratively design, implement and maintain a scope and sequence of essential skills and knowledge for Years 7–12, with a focus on evidence of progression of learning
All units and tasks have a ‘beginning, consolidating, established and extension level’ component

Literacy and numeracy form the foundation of all learning and teaching

Literacy and appropriate numeracy skills are explicitly taught and integrated
Digital literacy skills are integrated via effective teaching strategies

I came so that they may have life, and have it abundantly
