Learning for Sustainability workshop

A group of staff spent all day on Thursday 26 September working on a school vision for 'Learning for Sustainability'. This is a combined, holistic whole-school approach to outdoor learning, sustainable development education and global citizenship.   We do lots of great things as a school at the moment, but we want to improve and make sure every learner at Currie High has lots of high quality learning experiences outside the classroom, and making links to citizenship and sustainability.   We believe its a great way to provide a real-life context for learning, and give opportunities for learners to develop skills they will need in life after school.

During lunchtime, staff and pupils were invited to an open session in the community lounge where they could comment on the working group's thoughts so far. Thanks to the 40+ pupils and 20+ staff who came along and shared their views. Everything will be written up properly and shared soon!
