Towards 2025 – New Learning Behaviours 2022: Bold, Independent, Resilient and Creative Learners

In conjunction with the development of our St Catherine’s Teaching and Learning Framework, our Senior School teachers and middle managers have been rewriting our Learning Behaviours. There has been much collaboration and discussion on our approach and the development of relevant and purposeful Learning Behaviours for our students. 

The Learning Behaviours are reported across three indicators: organisation for learning, engagement in learning, and attitude to learning.

These behaviours are now aligned to our Learner Competencies and represent the expected behaviours and competencies displayed by all students in all learning environments. The Learning Behaviours rubric will be reported on every term on the mystcatherines portal. This reporting allows parents to understand how their daughters are developing in their learning behaviours.

The rubric continuum is across five key areas:

  1. Emerging
  2. Developing
  3. Establishing
  4. Proficient
  5. Accomplished

The revised language within the Learning Behaviours Rubric reflects our whole-School approach to developing learners who are bold, creative, independent, and resilient. Building their capacities for self-efficacy, agency, inquiry, and collaboration just to name a few.  

The students have engaged in Year-level presentations on the Learning Behaviours and are now writing their own individual learning goals that explicitly focus on the expected competencies. 

I encourage all parents to click on the link so they can familiarise themselves with our revised learning behaviours and competencies.
