Our Habits of Work and Learning (HoWLs)

To express and realise the dispositions that we want to cultivate and embed in our students we routinely focus on, discuss, celebrate and assess our Habits of Work and Learning.

Our habits of ‘Working Hard, Getting Smart and Being Kind,’ and what they look like at different ages, give us a common language to frame student behaviours, and to facilitate deep reflection on how they can improve their habits in the future. They give us the ability to specifically describe good behaviours and what it looks like.

We track Habits of Work and Learning regularly, using rubrics, reflecting and sharing our character growth with our peers, teachers and parents.
