At our school we have a deep commitment to learning for all; children, teachers and the wider community. We believe that by holding learners accountable to the highest standards and providing them with academic and social support they will rise to the challenge.
Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID)
AVID, as a system that embeds evidence based strategies, changes the expectations of what students believe they are capable of achieving. Through a strong focus on the ‘how’ of learning, AVID scaffolds the development of the skills, habits and behaviours needed for long term student success.
These student success skills are taught through the WICOR model of:
Writing
Inquiry
Collaboration
Organisation
Reading
All students will build on their strategies for ‘how’ to learn effectively, develop a growth mindset, set goals for themselves and learn how to attain them through their own work and determination.
