09LEO - Learning Enrichment class (Year 9) presented their assignments today in the Library.

Each student chose a famous person from history to study and showcase. It was great to see a wide range of topics including Johannes Keppler, Coco Chanel and Freddie Mercury, to name a few!

Learning Enrichment Option (LEO) is an invite-only option available at Year 9 and Year 10 for academically able students. The Year 9 course allows students to pursue areas of interest, building on their capacity to use their strengths to maximise achievement. It provides opportunities for students to learn about their individual thinking behaviours and learning styles, while developing their problem solving skills. There are also opportunities for students to further develop their interpersonal skills through collaborative learning within a positive group culture.

The Year 9 course leads to LEO at Year 10. At this level, students will develop skills in critical thinking by exploring philosophy and ethics and by examining abstract concepts such as creativity, truth and justice. This will aid students in developing their higher-order thinking skills that will help maximise grades and promote enjoyment of learning.
