Enrich – to improve the quality by adding something else

At the beginning of this year, staff reflected on our Enrich program and what shape this should take for our students in 2022.

The vision for Enrich has been to provide an opportunity for students to engage with literacy, numeracy and social-emotional learning through relevant and meaningful contexts. These skills have been embedded through teacher-led inquiry-based learning in Term 2, and students have also been able to consider how they can advocate for others.

As we approach the middle of the school year, we have taken the opportunity to ask students for their thoughts on Enrich so far and give them a voice in developing the program for Semester 2.

Students in Year 7 and 8 Enrich classes were sent a survey link to provide their feedback on the program. From there, representatives were chosen from each class to work as part of a small team to give further feedback on Enrich.

This week, representatives from Year 7 Enrich classes collectively reflected on the Enrich program in open conversations, and collaboratively collated and shared their thoughts on areas they may like to focus their studies on in Semester 2.
