Teachers at Hawkesbury Independent School, recognise that learning is not a spectator sport. Students do not learn much by just sitting in class listening to the teacher or memorising facts and spitting out answers.
At Hawkesbury Independent School, teachers manipulate the environment to encourage active learning.
They provide active hands-on activities, experiments, opportunities for discussion, writing about what they are learning, relating it to their background knowledge, and applying it to their daily lives.
